When asked, "If you had a chance to do it all over again, would they still come to Dickinson College?", almost every student polled said they would do it in a heartbeat. On the whole, Dickinson is remembered by alumni as a place that provided some of the most incredible opportunities in their lives. The College serves as a starting point for not only career success, but for lifetime happiness, as well. Students come to school here because they are serious about their futures. Academics are always the top priority and everything else comes second to classes and coursework. Thus, be prepared for Dickinson to push you to your limits academically. Dickinsonians are successful in and outside the classroom, and it is not uncommon for a student to play a sport, participate in a club, have an engaging internship, and still maintain their studying. In addition, you’ll learn to expand your social horizons and to indulge the international community through study abroad and a global education at home. Our motto is “Engage the World,” and nothing is more focused and concentrated on at Dickinson. A Dickinson College diploma is more than just a degree—it’s a way of life.

Social Scene, Music Scene, Where are youu???

I've found that Dickinson is amazing in terms of academics, but the town of Carlisle has next to no culture, Wal Mart is listed as an attraction on a brochure distributed by the town's tourism board. If you're looking for a music or club scene, there is none. A big issue with parties around campus is that the majority of them are held by lax/football bros and their frats, so a lot of people end up pre-gaming in dorms and wait patiently for that fun event that comes along once in a while or that party that anyone is allowed into. True, if you join an organization, you have more chances of going to a party but what happens if you just want to have fun and don't want to be given a set of obligations with your want to hang out on the weekend? I think part of the issue is that DPS (Public Safety) is just to big for the school, which means that a lot of the little get-togethers that are held near campus that everyone is welcome to, get busted right away. There is also a slight preferential treatment for athletes by public safety. an officer once said, regarding the lacross team, "I'd like to think that I've got your guys backs and you've got mine." ... this is bothersome as the lack of parties often forces people to go into dorms and drink more because there is nothing else to do. |
