<p>Bruinsmom: Tried to PM you but you aren’t set up to receive PM’s…about all the opportunities being daunting…D is UHP, IHP, UFE and D1 Athlete (two practices daily total 4 hours on avg.) and has the mandatory 10 hour athletic study hall at Bryant as a freshman in fall semester…It is a really full plate but she has been able to juggle it all, granted she is a very routine, focused, organized kid (way more so than I was at that age!) And she has still found time to enjoy friends, has been to concerts, goes to the f’ball, BB games, is looking forward to seeing some baseball/softball, enjoys going out to eat in T’town, shopping at Midtown, and has hosted or helped w/new recruit visits, not into the party scene. Loves all she is involved in and all the different and interesting people she interacts with in the various programs. As many parents say there is so much for these kids to do at UA most of them wish they had more time in the day. Maybe M2ck or other CBHP parents can speak to the time commitments on that end. My thought is Fellows may be less of a time commitment in terms of actual hours during the school day vs. CBHP.??? but again, others can hopefully chime in on that. Fellows meet one night a week for class which is usually for a couple hours although I think they ask the kids to block out that full evening. There are times on that same night or possibly a different one when the time frame can run from say 6-9:30/10pm when they go to cultural events, lectures or dinners on/off campus. In the spring they will meet two times a week/evenings, for I think an hour and 1/2 each in preparation for their Black Belt experience which follows their freshman year…I believe they stay after the semester for 3wk of involvement in that program. She is having to give up going to reglion classes which she was enjoying come spring semester due to the extra night for the UFE commitment/conflict of being at the same time, but she learned at an early age (middle school) that she can’t always do everything she wants and will stay involved at the church through mass. Hope this helps. Also is your son planning to do Outdoor Action or Alabama Action? D did OA and loved it. I highly suggest it, esp. for OOS kids…assuming you may be from Boston/Bruins?</p>
