So no, they r not all the bench sitters. I will happily find plenty more there, at Stanford, Duke, Princeton and others if you like. Some schools are a great mix of academics and great lacrosse. Others not so much. But to wave your hand indiscriminately over everyone does a disservice to some of these amazing young women that are accomplishing great things on and off the field.
(Cue the snarky "Thanks mom" comments) [/quoteI did some research. I looked at the top 5 schools MD,UNC,Duke,FLAl. and Cuse along with Stanford, Princeton, Yale, Cornell. Duke and Princeton do not tell majors for students. out of the rest, there were 61 undeclared majors. Stan led the way with 19 followed by UMD with 17. There was 1 Nursing major(unc), 2 pre med (cuse), 1 engineering (fla). There are 22sport related majors. There are 4 schools that quite obviously steer there students to certain majors Fla. (social and behavioral science), UNC (journalism and mass communication), Cuse(sports and human dynamics), Cornell (hotel management)
