[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you rather go to Delaware State University to play D1 soccer or Johns Hopkins to play D3 soccer [/quote]

To me there is nothing remotely attractive about going to Hopkins.

I'd do Delaware and then go to a better grad school.[/quote]

My spouse is a Hopkins grad.  My nephew is in grad school at Hopkins and my niece is doing medical residency there.

The academics are some of the best in the world.

Delaware--are you shitting me?  A degree from Hopkins is worth so much more.

Like Yale, everyone is in the library though and it is very grueling academically.  So--yeah--if you want to just party and play soccer, stay away from Hopkins.

My brother turned down a full-ride to American, G-town and a few others to follow a Coach he liked to some small D1 school in the Midwest--many have never heard of.  My dad was pretty pissed but knew my academically challenged brother would not go to college if he didn't get to choose where.  His first semester he roomed with 3 Wrestlers and the GPA average for the 4 of them was a 1.8.  My brother never even picked up his books--which were paid for!![/quote]

I’d rather hang out with your brother[/quote]

Ha!  He has always been a wild, fun time. Though if my sons (now in HS) were anything like that I had have a heart attack.  I don't know how my parents managed:).  I think that same riskiness is why he was such a great player.  He told me kids my flaw as player was that "I always played it safe on the field".  [/quote]

His outcome?[/quote]
