[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never heard of the term NARP before. I would never want my kid to go to a school where there is a divide. Many college students played sports through high school and have no interest in playing at university. If a campus has a weird athlete v non athlete vibe that’s critical to know.   How would one find this info? It’s likely not apparent on a campus tour. [/quote]

I think it’s pervasive across LACs because they tend to attract artsy/fartsy/intellectual kids who are drawn to the small community, professor interactions, and learning for learning sake vibe while at the same time attracting kids who are able to and want to compete athletically at the college level- a group of students who naturally skew more goal oriented and pre-professional. Unlike larger universities, athletes at LACs are usually some 35 percent of the school. So it’s just in the nature of LACs to bring together these two groups of kids together. Perhaps it’s both a feature and a bug. [/quote]
