[quote=Anonymous]D3 has less money for sports but some are very committed to the athlete. One aspect for finding that committiment in D3 is to ask abt the fitness program and injury support for all its athletes. I think that is where you can find the difference btwn D3 schools. 
One aspect /difference btween DI schools  is how the fitness/sports meds is organized/distributed. Some will share a fitness coach btwn a few sports, others will have a dedicated one for your child's sport. 
We have had an athlete consider both D1 and D3 for swimming, chose D1 then transferred btwn D1 schools. The fitness aspect were revealed as we went thru the whole process. and was not an aspect we thought to focus on initially so I hope this info helps another....

First D1 : one fitness person btwn two sports and favored the one sport. Program for once per week. 
Second D1 : manual muscles testing at beginning of season for all athletes then program written to work on weaker strengths and muscles groups in beginning of season. Program two/three times per week.
one D3 : Had transport for all athletes to sports meds and would go around the school and pick up all athletes/sports each day/week.

Injury prevention and recovery important in the long run, IMO as every athlete will go through an injury......[/quote]
