Hi guys, I've been really interested in checking out D3 colleges in Kansas, Pennsylvania, Florida, Colorado, and Iowa. Anyone have any good suggestions or know which ones have good academic and athletic programs? I'm mainly looking into schools that offer solid support for student-athletes. Thanks in advance!

While all of these schools are Division III, they may vary in their specific athletic programs and the support they offer to student-athletes. When researching, you may want to focus on schools with strong athletic programs in your sport, while also considering factors like campus culture, academic offerings, location, and financial aid.
Gather information from their websites, visit campuses if you can, and talk to current student-athletes or coaches to get a feel for how well the schools support their athletes. Don't hesitate to reach out to the athletic department or admissions office with any questions you have about balancing academics and athletics, as they can provide valuable insights!
Remember, the goal is to find a D3 college that fits you best and ensures you have a rewarding academic and athletic experience. Good luck!
