Definitely not easier than big 3 as others claim. Workload is just as much if not more. Also not getting much sleep either. Maybe depends on major for those who claim it’s easier.
But she is an athlete. That takes up a lot of time.
Many who went to big three were in school from 8 to 330, then sports, then other activities at nights or on weekends. You get to college and if you aren't work study or an athlete or busy with some other extra currics, you have way more time. It's not so much that the academic standards are lower - they are not. It's that you have more time. That's probably not as true for your daughter since she is an athlete.
