<p>If I am admitted I'd like to play on the Cornell rugby team. Does anyone have any experience with the team? How hard is it to join, the time commitment, that sort of thing? TIA.</p>
<p>Both my sons played rugby at Cornell. I don’t think it’s hard to join – you just sign up – they have A and B sides, so those who are less experienced can play for the B side. It’s a club sport (not varsity).</p>
<p>I’m not sure about the time commitment, but I think it’s significant (since my sons complained about it). </p>
<p>Interesting fact – when the team went to play in the Ivy League tournament, there were several investment banking recruiters there. One of them told my son that he always attends the tournament because his firm likes to hire Ivy League rugby players. (This was before the financial crisis, so your mileage may vary.)</p>
<p>Thanks kdmom. I know nothing about the rules or how rugby is played but I’m interested in learning and participating. I’ll be a transfer student so the time commitment was my biggest concern.</p>
