Returning to School to Maximize Sport
It’s Back to School for Philadelphia’s Colleges and Universities.
This week, thousands of students from around the country and also the globe will descend on college living quarters as new homes for the semester at Philadelphia’s major colleges and universities.
When you are an athlete at Philadelphia’s colleges and universities, you aren’t just back. You are back early.
Going away to college — like most things in life — isn’t what it once was. Bland dorm rooms with a single window draped with a single manilla colored shade are a thing of the past once move-in is complete. But now , dorm rooms aren’t a place to sleep — they are a palatial palace of recreation and leisure.
But for thousands of athletes at Philadelphia’s major universities , returning early isn’t just advised — it’s mandatory. For the University of Villanova — which has over 500 student athletes on campus throughout its 24 programs — that commitment turned into chaos last week.
All major universities in Philadelphia have early move-in for student-athletes.
Combined, all schools have more than 5,000 D1 student-athletes competing – moving in early is just one piece of their commitment.
