UPS (University of Puget) Supplement

Please critique and comment. Thanks.

How did you first learn about University of Puget Sound?

Despite being a nationally ranked independent undergraduate liberal arts college, it took me awhile to discover the many unique aspects that the University of Puget Sound has to offer. When I first came across the University of Puget Sound through the internet, I was completely captivated by the contents on the web page. The introduction of the web page was what first captured my interest in the University of Puget Sound.

Further probing through the web site, I discovered that the University of Puget Sound possesses the perfect combination of environment and academic programs for me to excel.

I agree with ZowZow. UPS (the University, not the company! :) ) Doesn't need to be said that much... They know who they are. It sort of looks like you are just trying to take up space.
