Mt. St. Mary's v. Le Moyne

[chslax29]

hey everyone, just wanted to get a few opinions and see what the majority says in my poll. i will be going to either mt. st. mary's in maryland next year or le moyne in syracuse to play lacrosse. i got a scholarship and both and just wanted to get some input on everyones poll and opinions about the schools.

i live close to lemoyne a nd now people that go there and it supposed to have good programs. So with that im going to have to say LEMOYNE

[Eclipse]

who cares what other people think. base it on what u want

[Eclipse]

and this should not be in open forum

[Laxer1241]

he is asking for insight but i have to agree with go with your gut.

[Eclipse]

yeah. Which one did you like more on visits. Which coach did you like more. Which one is giving you more money. Which one has better location. Do they both have your major? ETC ETC

[Laxer1241]

I would say if you dont like winter deffinatly dont pick lemoyne. but some highlights include its located in a small town next to the city of syracuse. So yuo could go to su games and also we have the second biggest mall in america.
WOOT WOOT

But they are building a brand new one dude. It will be done by next lax season so dont worry about that.

Mt St Marry's is D1 and Le Moyne is D2 you also might wana think about that.

go with the academics and best fit for what you want to study. sport is incidental to your degree

[DukeLax2]

i mean if i had the chance to pick d1 over d2 id go d1...the academics at both schools arent very far apart in quality.

[WHEELAX2]

^^ and u know this how??

academics can vary widely from school to school.. whether or not it's D1, 2 or 3, or even juco has nothing to do with it.. I went to a small d2 school who is consistently ranked in the top 30 or so nationally.. of all schools..

I was recruited by MSM and have had a few friends go there, both lacrosse players and otherwise. Some people have liked it a lot, others have disliked it and transfered out. It really is in the middle of nowhere. It is a good school academically, and I've heard mixed reviews of their coach. It seems to me that Le Moyne might offer you a better overall "college experience", namely because of it's location. You might want to give each campus another visit to get a feel for the environment, which in my opinion is very important in your decision. I turned down a few D1 offers to attend a small DIII school, simply because I loved the campus and environment.

[DukeLax2]

what d2 school would that be?

[WHEELAX2]

the chuck yeager school of music.. it's on broadway, between 81st and 101

Have you gone on any over night visits? How'd you get along with some of the other teammates and coaches? Do they play the style of ball you're use to or like playing? What college has the stronger major you're looking for, ie if you want to do something with the gov't it'll prob be smarter to go to MSM b/c it's closer to DC. What has your gut feeling been? How much money will you get, not just from the school but lax program also. IMO Le Monye seems a god fit for both lax and schooling -depending on your major.
