With early decision looming I need to make a choice between applying to either Kenyon or Trinity. I have the potential to walk onto the lacrosse team at Kenyon, but nothing is guaranteed. I feel that being on the lacrosse team at Kenyon would be a deal breaker but because of this uncertainty I am conflicted. If I were not on the team there is so much more to do at Trinity due to it’s location and the types of students who go there.
If you have any input or suggestions I would gladly welcome them.
Reading between the lines, I think you should pick Trinity. To pick a school for a sport, especially an iffy one, is not a great idea. And who knows, you may be able to walk on at Trinity. Or find a club sport you like.
I would not go to any college assuming you will be able to walk onto a varsity team. So if making the team as a walk-on is a must for Kenyon then the safer bet sounds like Trinity.
If you prefer the “types of students” at Trinity, then you probably should pick it. Kenyon is a small place to spend four years with a group of people you don’t like.
