<p>I was thinking of applying to Rowan University but a person told me that I could do better than a D-III college. </p>
<p>So i was wondering, whats wrong with D-III colleges/universities?</p>
<p>NOTHING. Division III is an athletic division. Its about the overall size of the school and how much emphasis (money) they want to put into it.</p>
<p>Some notable Division III schools are some of our nations most illustrious and respected LAC’s. WashU St Louis and Washington and Lee Universities are among them.</p>
<p>MIT, CalTech Johns Hopkins, Wash U, U Chicago, CMU, Tufts, Brandeis, U Rochester----and many more—are D3. That person doesn’t know what he/she is talking about.</p>
<p>Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, Wesleyan, Middlebury, Bates, Bowdoin, etc. etc. etc. are all DIII. </p>
<p>Academically it’s hard to do better than those, or the ones other posters have mentioned, or many more.</p>
<p>And if the person was talking about your athletic skills, it’s worth noting that there are DIII schools and conferences that are stronger than some DI programs in certain sports.</p>
<p>The only thing about D3 is they dont give athletic scholarships. But they work around that with merit scholarships and financial aid.</p>
