^^ My daughter was one of few studying on road trips. Serious students do it and if he wants to go to medical school, he has to be a serious student.
But speaking of road trips, I think an important consideration is how often and how far a team travels. My daughter’s coach had them traveling too far and too often her first year, but luckily figured that out. Second through senior year she cut it down to one weekend trip per year, and the other away games were all instate (under 3 hours travel time). Makes a huge difference to play 11 home games and 5 away games. Her friends on the softball team had three games every weekend. A classmate on the soccer team missed almost every Wednesday for games or travel.
