There is a great lax / school / social balance playing competitive D3. My daughter played D3 and it was wonderful. Played at the school she wanted to attend, took the major she wanted, coaches worked around her schedule and if she missed for school commits she wasn't banished. She also didn't have the 4 hour a day commit like her travel teammates have at their D1's. Roster was in the mid 20's and she played a ton.
My daughter had schools in the bottom half of D1 as options with about a .20 athletic offer. IN hindsight in worked out great. My only advice is do whats best for your daughter and not what mom, dad and their club director want
