College Fair Tips for Student-Athletes

​As we are getting into college fair season we've had a number of student-athletes inquire as to questions that they should consider when meeting with representatives of the schools. When meeting with colleges - especially those that you have an interest in - you want to ask questions that touch on both the academic side as well as the athletic side, such as:

What are popular majors that student-athletes have?
What academic support exists for student athletes? 
Are there tutors for student-athletes? Team study halls? Student advisers?
What are the graduation rates for the school? And for your team?
What percentage of student-athletes graduate on time?
What does an athlete’s daily routine look like? 
How does the school accommodate for classes and exams that are in conflict with any practices, games, or team travel?
What are the living arrangements for athletes? (With follow-ups of: do the athletes all live together?)
What are the dining arrangements for athletes? 
What are the type of scholarships available to me? (Via either the team or the school.)  How many of these scholarships are available?


And always remember -- get the school representative's name and contact information so that you can send a follow up note to them thanking them for their time!
