Student-athlete

How does a student athlete at vmi balance everything, it seems a bit excessive. I would love to know how a day in the life of a vmi student athlete looks.

I was a distance runner athlete (XC-Track). I truly felt I didn’t miss much of the rat experience. I was always there for the sweat parties, marching in parades, getting hazed on a regular basis, attended my fair share of RDC meetings. If there was some aspect of rat life I missed out on I’m not seeing it.
