Most seniors know where they're going to school at this point in the year, but if you're not sure yet and you're interested in sports, a school with D1 athletics can be a lot of fun. As I said in the fall, our football team did way better than expected and now our basketball team is in the championship game! This last week has been so exciting around campus. Everyone, including professors, are so into the games that we've ended up talking about them for the first part of class every hour! After we won our final four game last weekend, there was an estimated 12,000 people in our downtown area running all over the streets, chanting, singing school songs, holding signs, it was unreal.
I've heard a couple people say that they think having good sports teams at a school can take away from the "school/freshmen experience" because people get so tied up in the games that school work gets put off occasionally. Personally I think that statement is completely false; I think that having tons of school spirit is part of what college is all about. People are so passionate about our teams that it really makes you feel like you belong somewhere, since you're part of it.
(Cheer for us tonight in the championship game!)
