[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM has introduced me to the concept of NARP (non athletic regular person).

I have a NARP.  A boy who isn't an athlete but also isn't into something else that has a built-in community, like Drama.  Regular straight guy who likes movies and music and Ramen and video games.  Super funny w strong friend group but isn't an extrovert.

He was thinking about LACs (history or possibly Econ), but I wonder if these schools have 30-40% athletes, maybe a bigger university would be better? Any thoughts?[/quote]

this is why people like the Boston College type schools.  you need to find your people in a class that has enough .. people.

you have a school like Amherst that is just 450 kids per grade and 200 of them are on varsity sports, you have an issue. sports take up a lot of time, those kids end up living together soon enough.  add in a lopsided m/f class and you may have 100 guys who are not on sports teams. Most high schools have more guys.

my advice is when you tour, see if you can eat in the cafeteria.  watch the kids who come in with wet heads from swim/dive and all sit together, etc.  and then another sporty group over there, etc.  [/quote]
