u mean vs the history, gender studies, poli/sci, art history, psychology, religion and on and on at the D3 liberal arts colleges?? I went to a D3 school and played sports. Had a great experience. Would encourage all the girls to think about it. I also have 2 D1 athlete children and 1 D3 (graduated). They are different experiences, but if you think D1 kids in lax aren't getting an education, you either have no experience with it or your kid was a slacker. As an employer, I will take a D1 athlete that has been successful in academics over just about anybody. They are always smart, dedicated and great leaders.
