That’s hard to answer. I guess it depends on how much you like football. Football takes up so much time that the other members of the team are your primary peers, and I think you miss out on some of the other elements of campus life. The new coach has tried to change that by having early morning practices instead of afternoon practice, so the students can be more involved. But I think this is probably an issue at every college for sports that take up a huge amount of time.</p>

This also describes my son to a T (his friends in high school called him a “closet genius”). He’s having a great time as a freshman at Yale, too.</p>
