[quote=Anonymous]My kid is at Michigan and went to all the home football games.  They've been to some hockey games.  We have been encouraging basketball, but they don't really like it too much.  First, home games for football aren't every weekend and they are just Saturday.  A lot of kids stay in Friday night before and get work done.  Second, rarely anyone goes to all the games.  It's all about balance.  These schools are considered work hard/play hard for a reason.  My DC is in a tough pre-health major, so they don't go out as much as friends with less demanding classes, but it can still be done.  This semester, my kid basically has all of Friday free, so it's a great time to get work done and leaves Thursday as an option to go out instead of another night.

Are there kids who don't prioritize academics enough and struggle? sure.  Does your kid have to be mindful about how they use their time? Of course.  It's not for everyone, but my kid has been learning how to balance a lot for years and they are having a great college experience.
