BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) 2015 NCAA Womens Lacrosse Scores and News

You must not have been to many schools. The campus is beautiful. Is Duke better, yes. But is SJU, Georgetown, Villanova, or Hofstra, to name a few better, No. Where on Long Island is better, with such a large school? And, last I checked, academics mattered for a college. So really we are back to SBU being a great deal. Young school getting bigger and better.

You hit the nail on the head, where on LI is better? Pretty much nowhere. But SBU still is an ugly campus with a dismal college vibe. Many LI schools offer decent education opportunity, decent lax programs, but all the LI schools fall extremely short in the big picture.

Did you just compare SBU to Georgetown w SBU coming out on top, just ruins anything else you have to say.

Sorry, didn't like GTown campus, that's all. If you've bern there you know it is tight and hard to get around. Nice views however.

We didn't like it either. Way too congested! Fabulous school, but another drawback is that they offer very little academic support compared to many others.

Who said one of the best in the world? Of course you are now using some private schools as comparisons so if that fictitious statement is what you are trying to refute I would stay with public schools.Graduation rate is a poor statistic to base a schools academic standards on as schools like Stony Brook have a lot of kids who transfer out and in . The reasons vary greatly and a lot of its students are commuters.

What happened to your self imposed lifetime ban? Thought you were blocking BOTC from all your computers?

From those with experience please-what schools offer the best academic support? Regardless of what division, so far I have heard Bryant ans St. Leo. Thank you.

All of these schools have an organized system to help and monitor the players. I'm sure there are others. Just some we visited

Oh yeah UNC, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL most wide spread athletic cheating scandal of all time. You show up and play and they guarantee a diploma.

Most schools make sure the studs graduate on time and without issue that's why the big schools tell you what major you can take

You don't really think J.S. is allowing his players to take any major they want? S.B. being mostly a science and health institution, how many pre-med, or nursing majors are on that squad? going to S.B. for business is like taking basket weaving or african american studies at U.N.C. Totally useless degree. Unless your going for math or medical S.B. is a waste with no network to any decent job.

Take a look around on big time programs rosters and almost none of them list the major of the player. Go to D3 program rosters and majors are almost always listed. Not a lot of Engineering and Nursing majors at top programs so to list a roster full of Communication majors isn't flattering so they don't. The big programs are guiding you to your major. Call it what it is you are going to school to play LACROSSE your education is secondary that's why they recruited you when you were in 9th grade!

Great schools but there is a life after lacrosse so if your daughter wants to be a doctor don't send her to UNC to study African studies just because its UNC and its Lacrosse. I think that's the point.

If you can get recruited to any of the schools you listed AND take the major you want that is a home run. If you have been through the process you will know that is not always the case and certain majors are frowned upon at the big time programs.

Yes, the point is choose the school by the major you intend to pursue, not the lacrosse team.

Stop bashing UNC, I doubt that you would find many if any UNC Women's Lacrosse Players who took the (no show easy A class). More than 50% of the students who took the classes were not athletes. The vast majority of athletes who did take the classes were football and basketball players.

Most of the Top 20 Lacrosse Programs are also excellent academic institutions. These colleges and universities have a wide range of majors to choose from so most will be a great fit for a student athlete who has the ability to go to one of the listed schools.

If you do not think that being a student athlete at one of the schools listed will be helpful when looking for a job you are misinformed.

Keep hating, continue the jealous posting and keep telling everyone that you would much rather have your daughter go to a small D3 school. Northwestern, Duke, Princeton, Notre Dame, Virginia, Stanford and Penn have nothing on the schools that you think so highly of.

Just looking at a kids major really does not give you the complete picture anyway. Played a D1 sport and majored in Psychology because I found it interesting but went on to Medical School .My wife also a former D1 athlete who majored in Communications and went on to Law School.If you plan on going on to a graduate school you will find out there are many roads that can get you there.Not sure of every Major but in my Med School class there were many including Music, Math,etc.

Cortland would be a top 20 team in D-1.

University of Miami just offered three 8th graders scholarships in football. Does the NCAA do anything to regulate this craziness?

LIU Brooklyn finally cracked the top 100!
