<p>What are some good colleges with a crew team?
I finish with my current season this Saturday, and plan to row the rest of high school and in college.</p>

<p>The largest college regatta is being held in Philly starting tomorrow. I believe about 3500 rowers are participating with schools from schools in every division from everywhere in the country. Go to [Aberdeen</a> * Dad Vail ® *Regatta *](<a href=“http://www.dadvail.org%5DAberdeen”>http://www.dadvail.org) and check it out. You can go to [Rowing</a> and Sculling for Rowers and Scullers - row2k.com](<a href=“http://www.row2k.com%5DRowing”>http://www.row2k.com) and you will be able to stream it live as well.</p>

<p>There are a lot of crew teams, some more competitive than others. The times of a Div 3 school may not be much different than Div 1. For example, it would be difficult to find a Div 1 team faster than William’s women, a Div 3 team. William’s men are competitive as well but club, not NCAA. Find the kind of campus (size, environment, academic interest) you want and then look at who offers rowing. Small colleges tend to be division 3 (Ithica, Holy Cross, Williams, Smith, Wellsley, Conn College for example) while many large colleges it is a club sport, especially for men due to title !X. The Div 1 teams will offer a light-weight and a heavy-weight program whereas Div 3 is typically open.</p>

<p>Holy Cross is Division 1.</p>

<p>Some larger schools, such as Univ. of Michigan and Boston College have men’s crew teams, but they are considered club teams. Then you have Division II schools such as Dowling that have varsity men’s teams. The last group is Division III which features such schools as Hobart, Trinity, Wesleyan, Williams, Coast Guard Academy, etc. There are many choices though you can usually guess that schools with crew are also good academic choices.</p>

11

<p>Holy Cross competes at a high level in Div1 in crew.</p>

12

<p>Sorry, I just knew that Williams rowed against Holy Cross on several occasions and I assumed the were Division 3. Divisions often seem muddled in crew and there seems to be a lot of parity across divisions.</p>

<p>Everybody rows against everybody on Lake Quinsigamond.</p>

<p>I don’t know if you will know this school. Harvard.</p>

<p>Crew/rowing is a Big Ten sport and the 7 teams that compete are not clubs. They have varsity status. That does not mean they have scholarships to offer.</p>

<p>@barrons I was referring to men’s rowing, which is a club activity at Michigan and OSU. The site you posted is women’s rowing.</p>

18

<p>

</p>

<p>No quite. Rather than adequately fund the women’s programs they have decided to come into compliance with prong 1 of the three part interest and abilities test rather than prong 3 of the test. The result? They cut back on some of the “minor” sports. Heaven forbid they figure out how to save money in the football program.</p>

<p>^ NCAA doesn’t recognize mens crew…only womens.</p>

<p>here is a list of schools with programs … the men’s would be clubs not NCAA varisty teams … <a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_rowing_(United_States[/url])”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_rowing_(United_States)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
