Agreed! Some schools have particular majors that are specific to the school. They can be at D1-3, NAIA ect. The main thing I asked my kids is could you see yourself going to this school if soccer wasn't in the picture. In my opinion, this trumps everything and makes the experience more enjoyable for the athlete. D1 is great and it's the "highest level" in college soccer but it's not necessarily always the best. There are some D2, 3 programs that are amazing and have great programs. You can easily have the same experience at each level. How many kids can say they ever played in a national championship game? It's all the same in my opinion.
Many times parents lose focus of whats important and push for D1 when they can easily go another level and have just as good or an even better experience. just my two cents
