Upon graduating in 1998, she headed to Columbia University in New York City, intent on studying psychology. While growing up, Rachel Nichols enjoyed trekking through the outdoors and loved windsurfing, sailing and "just being on the water".
According to Nichols, she stumbled into modeling accidentally: "I was in the right place at the right time and decided to give modeling a try." While posing for companies like Guess? and Abercrombie & Fitch, Rachel Nichols also enrolled in drama classes at Columbia. She maintained a difficult schedule throughout college, balancing her studies in New York City with photo shoots in Europe.
