A for Aesthetics

In general, Dickinson College has exceptional facilities. The library always houses a spotless shine and includes everything from study rooms containing TVs, DVD players, and dry erase boards, to movie watching rooms to a café for those in need of a boost to a study room dedicated solely for students majoring in East Asian studies.

The athletic facilities on campus are admirable. We have an half olympic sized pool, a fitness center that includes plenty of weight lifting and running machines, and a huge gym housing the official basketball court.

Dickinson takes pride in its appearance. The campus itself is breath taking. Even on a rainy day like today, the beautiful, matching stone structures compensate and give the perfect air of academia. Floors adorn the entrances of the central campus activity building.

Overall, a beautiful school with great facilities.
