[quote=Anonymous]Have DDs who played both D1 and D3.  No real academic support at D3 specifically for athletes, other than study halls, but plenty of support generally because academically focused, smaller school.  No comparison in terms of off-season commitment - D1 is basically year-round, and D3 has long break after the season with a very light spring practice schedule.  Play depends on school, with the better D3 teams being similar to a good ECNL team but less physical and strong than a solid D1 team (because less lifting in the off season). No question that in D1, soccer is the only extracurricular activity the player has time for, while student can play D3 and still be involved in other clubs, activities, etc. and have a more typical college experience.  D1 players often (usually) stay on campus all or most of the summer to train so do not have internships, etc. during college, which can definitely effect career path (for example, kids going into finance need to do summer internships).
