<p>My son is applying to a number of schools with club rowing programs that meet his academic goals. These include Bowdoin, U of Chicago, Haverford, William & Mary, etc. Rowing is important to him but not a be all-end all. His college counselor has encouraged him to consider Carleton as well but he's a little worried about not having a sport that he can participate in. Can anyone comment? I don't know much about Carleton culture.</p>
<p>Time to branch out, I guess. Go out for ultimate. Several teams of varying skill and commitment are on campus. And there are a plethora of IM sports and PE classes to keep him busy.</p>
<p>Has he considered broomball?</p>
<p>he hasn’t considered anything because right now all he does is row and school. But Carleton is interesting as a school and he’s definitely open to new experiences. What is broomball–or does the name say it all?</p>
<p>^^Yes, the name says it all. Sort of like ice hockey with boots instead of skates, a broom instead of a stick, and a ball instead of a puck. Lots of fun!!</p>
