Lawrence University
- Athletics

Not Much...

We're a D3 school. There's a football team that looses almost every game, and a tiny number of students even bother going to home games. (and few students who seem to care that we have a football team?) The talent lies more in the conservatory and other arts. When I was a freshman, my RLAs would often convince us to see student recitals or theater productions on Saturday afternoons.

An advantage to this is if you are motivated enough to show up to all the practices, you can join a lot of the sports even if you've never played/participated in that sport. You also don't have to worry about not having time for other things because of 2-a-days.

Athletic facilities aren't brilliant, but relatively decent for the casual athlete.

We Have Athletics?

Other than having one friend on the track team, I virtually never hear about athletics at Lawrence. The football team is sad, especially considering I was raised to worship the pigskin. If you're looking for exciting athletics, Lawrence is not the place for you.

Not a Sporty School

Sports are not a huge part of campus life at Lawrence. Very few students attend the games of any sport, and our sports teams are nothing to write home about.
