Greetings
I know from reading many posts that some of you have swam in college. I am the parent of an age group swimmer who has his sights set on a college scholarship. I was a sportsmed guy in a a Div 1 school in college and all of us worked many long hours and traveled a great deal to earn our way through. The athletes worked very hard of course and really paid in time for the funds they received in the form of books and tuition. I would rather pay for his schooling and see him study rather than swim. I do not want to steal his dreams though as a result of my cynical view of the system. Have any of you swam in college and what was your experience? Do you view it as a worthy goal or would you have done it differently? Any coaches out there with insight? All advice welcome. This is a great forum!
Many Thanks

Also, now I work at a large state university that is supposedly known for it Engineering Dept. Most of the classes are huge and taught by TAs. Why woudl you want that? Moxt of the students who have part-time jobs under me complain constantly about how boring their large classes are.
I went to a similar school and I think this is not the true case at all. Yeah, there are some huge classes, but these are generally 100 level courses such as math and chemistry. Once you get into the classes specifically to your major the classes aren't typically that large.
