@BooBooBear I went to Williams in the late '70’s and my stepson is a junior now. Williams regularly wins the award for best D3 sports school, based on most success in national championships across all sports – and so athletics is a huge focus there. Having said that, my stepson and I have had the same experience 35 years apart: a very quirky, interesting group of kids, many of whom are athletes and you don’t even know it. The campus is not divided among groups; it’s very fluid. Many many many athletes are also brilliant in the classroom. A small, rural LAC isn’t for everyone but I wouldn’t let sports be a worry in that regard.
