[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Watch out for the schools where the athletes have their own dining facilities, gym and/or mostly take up their own dorms. At small schools, if the athletes are so sequestered together, it makes the school seem so much smaller to non-athletes.

We toured two SLACS where they specifically highlighted how they are trying to fight this problem. [/quote]

Do any SLAC/D3 schools do things this way? My son is looking to play his sport D3 and we haven’t seen anything like separate dorms or dining facilities. (Athletic facilities yes)[/quote]

Same with us.  We've seen varsity weight rooms (although many D3s have just one facility for everyone, with the teams having reserved times and open weightlifting classes for others to ensure no one is lifting unsupervised), but we've never seen dining facilities where hot breakfasts are only for athletes on weekends and we've never seen separate dorms or teams together on a single floor.  Some schools even make an effort to ensure coaches don't try to finagle the room assignment system for first years to get teammates rooming together (D1 Colgate does this too). [/quote]
