[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Need some google guidance please.
It’s early days, and am trying to do some advance parental research to find potential schools for STEM kid who enjoys non-recruited sport (like fencing, volleyball…) and is also in HS band and may want to continue in college. Thanks for advice on how to search.[/quote]

The marching band will typically end up at larger schools, but perhaps marching band isn't the focus but music/instrument is? 
Men's volleyball - https://www.ncsasports.org/mens-volleyball/colleges
Fencing - quick search provided https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NCAA_fencing_schools

Having interests outside of academics can help drive a conversation with your student, its important to keep in mind that academics will be the primary focus - they should want to attend the school without the activity. We had our student start a Google sheet - they added school names to the list that seemed to fit their interests as they built it we started to see patterns on location, size etc and used that for our school visits. There is so much online the students can get a lot of good information to help with their research.
