[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whatever works for your child.

My child liked small schools and will be attending a school of just 1200 students. It had everything SHE wanted.

After her big public high school experience, I think this will be a nice change for her.

She applied to schools of anywhere from 600 students to 20k+. But as I said, she was most comfortable in the smaller settings.

I attended a school of 3600 students, yet also had division 1 sports. I had a great 4 years. I had smaller classes, a campus just big enough where I didn’t know everyone.[/quote]

I am curious...this sounds like a Davidson or University of Richmond...is there are a sports culture at this school?  Meaning, do many students attend the football, basketball and other games even though for the most part they aren't ever playing Duke in basketball (maybe Davidson does?) or Michigan in football or seriously competing for the National title?

Trying to figure out which schools have good spirit vs. other schools where 90% of the kids don't even know a football game or basketball game is even happening if you ask while the actual game is happening.[/quote]

Well, the school has increased in size since I attended in the 90s. And we DID play Duke in all sports as we were an ACC school and beat them from time to time. Had a number 1 pick in the NBA draft who went on the play for almost 20 years.

Well, OK...we know Wake Forest or any ACC school is a different kind of school compared to Richmond or Davidson with respect to sports.  It almost doesn't matter how large the school is if they play in a Power 5 conference.

I figured it was like a Richmond because that is how big they are now (i.e., around 3500 students) or a similar non-Power 5 D1 smallish school.[/quote]
