Colleges with a crew team?

^^^^not necessarily. Lots of options for women’s crew as most of the top women’s colleges row as well. I think you need to decide what kind of school you want (large, small, medium, LAC, specialized), where you have a good chance of being admitted and then narrow down further to those who row crew. Div 1 schools typically have light-weight programs, but in Div 3 there is usually room for the light weights on the varsity boats. I “hear” of extreme measures taken to make weight (especially considering how muscular these girls are), much like wrestlers, so I am somewhat relieved that my light weight D is on an open boat at Div 3. At several schools, you can get an athletic tip as a rower. Crew is Fall and Spring so there is plenty of rowing to do during the year.
