Read Hundreds of Quotes from Dickinson College Students

Read samples from the Dickinson College guide below:

Academics

“There are a variety of different types of teachers here. I’ve had the misfortune of having a few new professors who weren’t that great and were fired right after they taught my course. I find very few of my classes interesting unless the professor actually...”

Diversity

“My opinion is that we are semi-diverse. Not much within American society but we have a lot of international and foreign students who mix it up.”

Guys & Girls

“I feel like everyone is on the short side, but there are some tall guys. I don’t think the guys here are hot, but I know that opinion varies. Girls, however, are about as good looking as they get—almost all are thin and pretty.”

Athletics

“We’re Division III, so not much is expected sports wise. Intramural sports, on the other hand, are very competitive and popular.”

Without its reputation as an enriching learning environment, Dickinson would not have become the prominent academic institution it is today.

Guys & Girls

Dickinson has an attractive student body, literally. Students normally have impeccable physical appearances and are intelligent to boot. If you’re looking for a campus with a lot of ditsy eye-candy, look elsewhere, because kids here are smart enough to know when they’re being played. “Random,” in the complete sense of the word, hooking up is pretty common. Hookups usually happen between girls and guys who live near each other or have met in classes and go to parties or other social events together....

Athletics

Dickinson is a school where students can successfully participate in one or more varsity sports and not get caught behind in their workload. It isn’t uncommon for athletes to participate in multiple varsity sports, something that many students love about Division III athletics. Because the philosophy at Dickinson is that academics come first, many varsity sports teams achieve “Academic All-American” status for their combined team GPAs. Approximately 70 percent of the studen body participate in varsity...
