Searching for and choosing a college

[hammer]

Look into obscure things. Javelin and discus? lol. Run from soccer, too much competition.

My kids are not into sports so not a factor for us...but is getting a sports scholarship a good thing? I'd be concerned about time demands for the sport competing with studies.

I was on an ROTC scholarship (thanks to the taxpayers for funding my education) and the time demands there weren't too bad...and they were willing to cut cadets slack on ROTC activities if they were having academic problems.

Trust me, the athletic department more than takes care of the students with tutors and limits of team activities.

i was looking for piles of snow yesterday but they're all gone already. too bad there aren't any great ski hill close to the school. I think greek peak is closest "big" mountain but that's still an hour or so away, i think.
