Nope, it's D3. On our very short list of schools we're considering currently. In fact, taking a visit there tomorrow.

 

Get over to Hanover for a visit also. An hour away from Union, the most beautiful campus of the DIII schools around here. Great facilities. It just happens to be in the middle of nowhere.

Here you go, Coop.

It doesn't get any better than Hanover IMHO.

Trying to convince him to consider it. He says it's too small, though he really doesn't have a clue. Said the same thing about Centre and turns out he loved it. He has this fear is that because Hanover has less students than his high school, the college will consist of one building and one dorm. We'll drag him down there kicking and screaming over the next few weeks to take a look. :lol:

My wife begged our daughter to take a look at Hanover simply because of its beauty.

 

Caution: It does appear to be in the middle of nowheresville.

 

RE: Centre. Talked to the child of a BGPer last night who attends that institution and he seems to really enjoy it despite not a lot going on in the town.

Is he looking at playing football or baseball?

Depends on the school, but football at Centre. Official visit there in two weeks. We'll see . . . .

If he likes the great outdoors, you can't beat that campus.

It is in the middle of nowhere, but is 45 minutes from UofL, 1 1/2 hours from IU, and about the same from UK. It's still close to a lot of friends.

I have a boy that wants to get into aerospace engineering. He is only a sophmore, but he loves aviation and engineering and has since he was three. Are there any DIII schools around Kentucky that have this specialty? He is currently eyeing "big" schools like Alabama, and a school in Daytona Beach, FL that has a reputation for being good aerospace engineering schools. His "way out there" reach is for Princeton in New Jersey. The boy makes the grades (4.0) and scored a 21 on the ACT in the seventh grade and is a pretty good athlete who might get into a school on athletics. We (his mother and I) are afraid that he will be swallowed up by one these big schools and we aren't exactly dripping with money for tuition. Anybody got suggestions for a school within a state or two from Kentucky that has a good aerospace engineering department?

O$U, UC, University of Dayton and Notre Dame all have supposedly good Aerospace Engineering programs.

 

Purdue University and the University of Illinois are considered to be 2 of the best.

Hanover is a tremendous school with a beautiful campus. After my visits (when they were still NAIA and could give athletic schollys in the early 1980's), I fell in love with it. The campus, the people, the professors, etc.

Embree Riddle in Daytona Beach, FL. GREAT engineering school and an NAIA school for athletics to boot. The Seidel kid who played basketball at North Laurel is on scholarship there right now and loves it (from what I am told).

99.999999 Percent of the players who are going to a division school and play sports are not going to go on and play pro ball. It does cost an are and a leg to go to many of these places and even with the financial aid package that many get the price of going is still a lot but many, not all will go on to have a very good career making the price well worth it.

 

 

I can remember talking to one head coach of and he told me he had 12 players form a state final team look at going to the college he coached at and he wanted all of them but only one had the grades and college test scores to get any kind of financial aid package that would afford them to go to this college. That one player had a very nice career on the field for this school. I believe he started all four years.

Not as much as it used to be. Hanover (the town) has grown quite a bit since I was there in the early to mid 1980's. Madison is a really neat little town as well.
