[quote=Anonymous]If you want to see a social divide between athletes and nonathletes, I would think a bigger school with strong Div 3 sports-like Emory, Tufts, Wash U or Johns Hopkins- would have a bigger “social divide” between athletes and non-athletes. They’re in bigger cities, have graduate programs and the social life is more “spread out” or fragmented, than at the smaller, more rural LAC’s. I went to a rural LAC and socialized regularly with athletes in my dorm, the dining halls, and campus events. We were all aware when teams were playing in major tournaments or playing archrivals. My kid who’s at one of the bigger places I mentioned above has mentioned that that many of their classmates have no awareness of what’s going on with their successful sports teams. That being said, I can see why an athlete-heavy rural LAC in 2025 might be harder socially for a nonathlete. [/quote]
