Being an NCAA athlete is always a huge commitment. Naturally, D-I lacrosse demands more than D-II (and way, way more than D-III). The season usually lasts from early March to late June. If you're on a great team, you'll be traveling to states, regionals, and maybe even nationals. Not great if you like silly things like a balanced life. (Psh.)

If you breathe, sweat, and bleed lacrosse, then shoot for the top. Or, you can relax and keep on Shmooping.
