@bookmama22, agree the team environment is a really special thing - at the NESCAC schools its really strong as many of the sports have Nationally ranked teams. Usually, the NESCAC practice facilities, fields and separate gym are great; I don’t think they have tutors in D3 - but teammates definitely eat together!
