What is Patrick Cripps Studying?
After attending boarding school in West Australia, Patrick Cripps attended college to pursue his interest in agribusiness, a field that combines agricultural science and business.
He spent two years residing at Aquinas College in Perth. He used this to prepare for his transfer to Melbourne. His family is a farming one.
“If I wasn’t playing football I would’ve gone back to the farm. I’m studying agricultural science and the business now, with a major in finance — I’d love to do the finance side but to be honest I don’t really know.”
How he spends his downtime “Go surfing down the coast. Most weekends I go down for a surf in the afternoon. I enjoy playing basketball, getting out in nature, getting out of the house.”
