<p>I was just wondering whether playing division three basketball would be worth it. I'm still not sure if playing a sport in college at a level that doesn't mean a lot to most people is still worth it. I'm thinking maybe just going to a larger school that offers more outside of the classroom and could possibly be a better experience socially. Do you have any thoughts/experience on whether playing college athletics at a lower level is worth it?</p>
<p>Some friends of mine did (one with Shaka Smart). If you enjoy the sport why not?</p>
<p>Some sports at some schools are tied in with jobs on Wall Street and the like but that is the exception.</p>
<p>Worth what?</p>
<p>I don’t mean to sound snide, but if you need it to be worth more than having an opportunity to continue to play a sport that you love…I’m thinking it might not be worth it to you.</p>
<p>I agree with JoBenny. My son would love to be able to play D3 soccer. Why? Because he loves the game.</p>
<p>Absolutely worth it! Also, many DIII schools are much stronger, academically, than DI schools and offer more outside the classroom opportunities.</p>
<p>I want to play in college I’m just thinking I may be happier at a larger school and right now I’d be going to a small d3 school. I will have to think hard about it the next few months and make the right decision. I definitely love basketball and am very honored to have the opportunity to play in college, just have to figure out what is best for me moving forward.</p>
<p>Thanks for the input</p>
