<p>I know someone that was a recruited athlete to Davidson and Stanford (as well as Big East Schools and the IVYs.) </p>
<p>He ended up picking Davidson and loved every moment of it. </p>
<p>The small campus allowed him to do a lot networking and make a great deal of connections. Everyone at that school has selected it over other well known “name” schools. It is not like you would be picking a poor performing school and chances are you will find more success athletically which will make it more fun.</p>
