I bet he was a good student and got very high grades but considered himself a poor student with terrible grades.

[(Anonymous)]

That would fit with his personality, but realistically, training for professional skating must be a huge commitment, both mentally and in terms of sheer time. I'm sure a lot of professional athletes are great students, but I could also see Yuri not having much time to study. It's not like school would really be the priority, would it? Plus, he'd get nervous and bomb tests. I don't know, just speculating.

If he was an athlete on scholarship, he probably had to keep his grades up. Honestly I can't imagine he didn't have decent grades. He's the kind of guy who overworks himself if anything.

He actually graduated college a year later than normal (he was in Detroit for five years), which is pretty normal for athletes (assumedly because he had to space out his classes due to his schedule and not take as full a load as most people). This is, as noted, really common for athletes with a schedule as intense as his would be. A lot of skaters just wait until they're done with competitive skating period to even go to school.

Do these universities have figure skating teams? If not, he couldn't have been there on athletic scholarship, right?

I got the sense he didn't actually finish school until after he blew his competitions but yeah, he must have had a more forgiving workload. Do we know what he studied? I wonder if he had a plan B outside of skating

[(Anonymous)]

But he finished three months after the GPF, so at that point he was very close to finishing school anyway.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

OP here again.

I'm pretty sure that not many schools have a figure skating scholarship; I've never heard of any around here. But most students at Wayne State do work outside of having classes and the average time it takes for WSU students to graduate is around six years (so Yuuri might even be a little ahead!).

It's never mentioned what he studied. I've always imagined education in preparation for maybe being a coach, himself, one day.

However, if he did go to school in Michigan, he probably had a winter graduation, since he's seen coming home late-ish March/early April, with snow still an issue and cherry blossoms, while most US schools have their graduations in early May. This fits more with when Japanese schools have their graduations. I think this is just the writers forgetting when the US school years begin and end.

His parents did say that they were sorry they couldn't attend his graduation. I don't think many correspondence schools have actual graduations, so I'm definitely putting him in college in the Detroit area (Wayne State especially).

You can see, I've thought about this a bit.
