It depends on what you're looking for. Running D3 is low pressure and is less likely to interfere with academics.
It's a great way to make friends and just because it is a Division 3 school, doesn't mean that it and/or you can't be competitive. I've had friends who were good enough to go D1 go D3 because of the school and they still compete seriously with the intent to improve. Likewise, I've had slower teammates go D3 and they are happier than some D1 athletes I know since there isn't as much pressure and the team chemistry is better. Basically, if you love to run and would still like to compete then there is nothing wrong with being D3.
If you love to run, compete, and be on a team, no, of course it is not a waste of time. But if your primary motivation to run is the pursuit of glory, then yes, it is a waste of time because you will not find glory in D3.
