Hi!! What’s it like to be an athlete at Skidmore College? I am very into art, and English but would also be playing on the women’s soccer team if I were to attend. Can someone tell me what the social life is like for athletes? Are there lots of events, parties, etc.? Do athletes mainly hang out with each other? What are the off campus sports houses like? Thanks!!!
My daughter is a freshman on the soccer team. Being an athlete, you have a built-in family and social group waiting for you before you even get to campus. The girls are very close, and they spend a lot of time together. Their social life is quite active. They also wind up becoming friendly with the other athletes, both men and women. My daughter and her teammates are also good friends with the women on the basketball team the lacrosse team in the field hockey team. One friend on the tennis team joined us for spring break. We are from Seattle, and I can tell you that she has not been home home sick a minute during her first year at Skidmore. She’s thrilled to be there. Loves her school.
