[quote=Anonymous]My kid at Williams thinks the athlete/non-athlete "divide" is overblown - I hear parents talk about this WAY more than students. My kid is not an athlete but had lots of athletes in her freshman dorm and orientation group, has them in her major, in her ECs. Her soph year roommate is a varsity athlete. Do the athletes spend a lot of time with their teammates? Of course - they practice, work out, travel, etc. But so do the theater kids, the finance kids, the sustainability kids, the WEPO kids. These groups overlap. Does mine go to as many Hoxsey St parties as the football team? No but she is not a party kid - if she were at a bigger school, she wouldn't be going to a ton of frat parties either. The reason to go to one of these schools is because you want the SLAC experience, the reason to go to a rural schools is because you want that setting. Same as choosing a big state school, or a very Greek southern school, or an urban school. [/quote]
