It's hard to pick the right one. Sometimes the classes will be too rigorous, or the baseball program too stressful. Those are probably the two biggest factors. Athletes will only get a glimpse of the true college experience compared to academics, so it's not always fair to judge a school based on their college life. At University I never met a single athlete other than a roommate who only hung out with her teammates. She ended up leaving after a year as she decided she didn't want to play basketball anymore (despite being our star player, she loved art more) and wanted to go to a school closer to home and her bf (now husband). She now makes 4-5x more than a WNBA player so it all worked out.
