<p>If there is anything that my forthcoming freshman is having anxiety about, its about being over committed. They will be majoring in an a challenging science, hoping to participate in a sport, and will be doing work study. I would be disappointed if they were unable to participate in the sport of their choice, but we are wondering how you fit in 5-56 horus of classes a day, 2-3+ hours of studying, 1-2 hours of work study, and a couple hours of sports. Are they going to be over committed their freshman year? What has your experience been here? thanks in advance.</p>
<p>This is a great question. Our students are typically VERY involved on campus so I can understand your concern. Adjusting to college life freshmen year is a challenge for everyone regardless of their commitment level. As for our athletes, they have an academic support staff that will assist them in creating a manageable schedule. All of our students have access to academic support but athletes have an additional staff looking out for them due to their sometimes strenuous schedules. Remarkably, our athletes typically have an average GPA on par with and sometimes higher than the rest of the student body!</p>
