Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Dickinson is a school where students can successfully participate in one or more varsity sports and not get behind in their workload. Since the philosophy at Dickinson is that academics come first, many varsity sports teams achieve “Academic All-American” status for their combined team GPAs. Dickinson is a member of the Centennial Conference and competes against schools like Gettysburg, Franklin & Marshall, Johns Hopkins, Haverford, Swarthmore, Bryn Mawr, Washington, McDaniel, Ursinus, and Muhlenberg. While Dickinson's sports teams vary in ability, the men’s and women’s cross country teams and the men’s and women’s swimming teams often have undefeated records at the end of their seasons.

Intramural sports are also very big on campus and are adored by students—championship T-shirts are a coveted possession. The intramural program exists on a level between open recreation and varsity athletics and offers students an opportunity to compete in a structured and competitive setting. Participation is available in individual, dual, and team competition.

Div III

Well Dickinson is Division III so its not top notch. That being said our track and lacrosse teams won their divisions last year. Athletics is what you make it here. Its not what were known for, but for the division were pretty good.

Sports Are Average

I feel the student body has little school spirit and that athletics are not too important to the facalty. The school gives little funding to all sport programs and all teams could use new equipment. I feel that my high school took better care of equipment and facilities than my college does, and yet this should be a step up, not a step down. I feel team performances are well deserving of updates in uniforms, facilities and school spirit.

Big Deal

Sports are a pretty big deal on campus despite the fact that the teams aren't necessarily the best.
