<p>There has already been some discussion about this, but how have people found adjusting to Colby and not playing a sport?</p>
<p>For my D, not a problem at all! She played Ultimate (well, at Colby it’s Frisbee) this past fall, which was very very very low-key and just fun. And of course, it’s now broomball time! My impression is that Colby is a place that’s very accepting of whatever floats your boat–if you’re a hard core athlete, great! (especially if it’s hockey and you help them beat Bowdoin). If you just play stuff for fun because you’re into music or theater or underwater basketweaving, great! Students can give you a more accurate picture, of course, but from what D is reporting, this is what things sound like–and I’m sure that if she felt uncomfortable in any way for not being a jock, we’d have heard about it! 
I suppose it is important to remember that you’re in Maine, and being at least a little “outdoorsy” kinda goes with the territory, but that can mean very different things for different people.</p>
<p>Thank you so much! I love the out of doors, and am involved in athletics in HS, but will not continue at the Varsity level in college. I am glad to hear your daughter is liking it and finding it not to be a problem, has it been easy for her to join Ultimate and Broonmall?</p>
<p>Oh, absolutely! Broomball right now is just on a dorm/fun level, since it’s J-Term. Ultimate was in the fall–I think just intramural, and I’m not sure but I think they’ll do more in the spring. As I keep saying–Colby seems to attract kids who know how to keep a good balance in their lives, and who are relaxed and cheerful despite being a bunch of overachievers! :)</p>
<p>And there’s the flashlight laser tag that they just had last week in the Miller Library!</p>
<p>Non-athletes definitely have a lot of fun in Colby.</p>
