Any varsity athletes at WPI that can shed some light on the 7 weeks sessions and how
the timing works with athletics ? Does that fact WPI is on a different schedule from most schools cause
issues with tournaments or playoff and final exams ? My S is interested in a spring sport where most schools
travel for spring break, but if your spring break differs from other schools, can see that being an issue.
If playoffs are worked around final schedules of OTHER schools, can be a problem.
You don’t mention what sport. A quick glance at last year’s baseball schedule showed the WPI team taking advantage of their spring break. They played in Florida over WPI’s spring break. Any questions and I’m sure the coach would be glad to answer.
My daughter played a fall varsity sport. The biggest challenge in the timing for fall was that athletes couldn’t go away or home for fall break as there were games and practice during the week. Not sure how the spring schedule works for various sports, but several of D’s friends play / played spring sports and I haven’t heard any complaints.
I see the team of interest does travel during the spring break. My S would be fine with that !
