UChicago is actively looking to build up their athletic programs, realizing that alumni like to contribute to winning sports teams. Their two best sports are soccer and tennis.

But the rising import of athletics has not been fully communicated nor absorbed by most staff and faculty. So balancing schoolwork with athletics is left up to the student, making UChicago one of the toughest places to be a student-athlete.

No help through admissions

No in-season early registration

No tutoring or help picking a major

Athletes have to fund-raise to pay for equipment and travel

Days off for athletic travel count as absences

All work must be made up, and is subject to the individual professors' requirements


Also, UChicago baseball does not fully participate in the UAA athletic conference, opting instead for a regional schedule to cut down on travel costs. But, what a great school! Right up there with Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT.

What type of fundraising is required? Do other schools require this as well?
