kchendds, besides the Princeton athlete, the other 2 in my family are in Div 2 and Div 3; another played Div 1 but quit. But I do agree with twoinanddone, that playing a college sport can be a very, very rewarding experience. However, if a student tends to get overwhelmed by the combination of school and sport in high school, it might be even worse in college, especially if we’re talking about a top LAC. I would advise the student takes as light a schedule as possible in the first year to fully adjust.
