[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS was a recruited athlete at Williams. He certainly found that athletes were a strong social presence on campus, though I don't think it amounted to BMOC domination. However, what's important to note is that cliques were a huge presence among the [i]non-athletes[/i] - the ones that he mentioned were the super-rich kids, the super-woke kids, and the minorities (the last two not necessarily being the same). If you're not an athlete and you don't fit into one of the other cliques, it will be socially isolating. If you are an athlete and you have to drop the sport because of an injury or you're tired of it or you need to focus on academics, then you will be socially isolated if you don't fit into any of the non-athletic cliques. Wouldn't surprise me to learn that this happens at other small schools, too.[/quote] Ugh. Sounds awful all the way around. [/quote] PP- I agree with this and my son is at another school. [/quote]
