[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone’s DC has any positive experience?

If it’s doable, which college setting makes it easier?  Small liberal arts? Mid-sized research universities?[/quote]

Doable? yes. At which schools? There isn't going to be an easy answer to your question. It will vary from school to school, so the best advice would be for your child to make a list of all the qualities that would make for an ideal undergrad experience, discern which schools best fit that profile and then contact them individually to figure out which has the best scholar-athlete balance. But schools can't account for the learning process of any given student: your child will have to honest with himself about his goals as both an athlete and student and what he can handle. D1 sports in general will demand more in terms of athletics, but most D1 schools are also not Cal or Stanford from an academic standpoint (and I'd argue that if your child's high school is a competitive magnet or a highly regarded prep school and he then attends, say, the University of Georgia, he may find that the workload and rigor for the first two years of undergrad are less than he experienced in high school).
