College Prowler Take
Dickinson has a very attractive student body—students normally have impeccable physical appearances and are intelligent, as well. The Kline Athletic Center is constantly full of students working out to stay in shape, and Dickinson was recently ranked the most physically fit college in the nation by Men’s Fitness magazine. Students also dress the part—being put together is not just sn option on this campus, which is evident in the moniker of the cafeteria’s center aisle: “the catwalk.” Like any college campus, random hookups are prevalent, but Dickinson is very small, so awkward interactions with past hookups are inevitable. However, you won’t find a large number of students who have many regrets in this area because people here are usually pretty smart about what they do with the people they’re attracted to. Hookups usually happen between individuals who live near each other or have met at parties or other social events, and it is not uncommon for a regular hookup to turn into a long-term relationship. Overall, it is easy to say that Dickinson has an average amount of promiscuity as far as college students are concerned. Students Speak Out

Pretty much anyone can find a niche at Dickinson. There's plenty of athletic, hard-partying frat types, if that's what you're interested in. But I've honestly never met any guy here who I couldn't have a great conversation with. Most people have layers—sometimes they're just hidden well! Pretty much everyone you meet is super-involved with something, so even if you don't have a lot of mutual interests, it's nice to know that they have a passion. You have to be at least somewhat studious to survive here, so even the really pretty but vacant-looking girls do a lot of library time. You can wear pretty wear much whatever you want—getting dressed up isn't unusual if you feel like it, but a huge percentage of people also wear sweatpants. It's a very accepting campus. |

Guys at Dickinson are by-and-large preppy, brunette, wealthy, and dressed in khakis, polos, and baseball caps. While chivalry is not dead at Dickinson, do not expect this to be a mecca of gentlemen. The girls are significantly more attractive than the guys, which leaves a lot of the less-fortunate-looking men out in the cold. Everyone is pretty outgoing but reserved when it comes to getting to know people on a more personal level. You can expect most people to acknowledge you on the street, but you may know little more than their names. |

On the whole, Dickinson has an incredibly warm and friendly environment. You could walk up to almost any guy or girl on campus and be guaranteed a friendly conversation. |

The girls are mostly very beautiful. They dress up almost regularly, but dress for other girls, not guys. This means most of them are stylish and edgy. The guys are primarily sweatpants or khaki wearers with polos. All of them dress pretty well, except the sport players—they are always in sweats, it seems. |

Girls want relationships but are good friends, too. As for the men, I think they are mostly snotty, but I know some nice ones, too. Everyone is pretty hot in general; I don’t think you have to worry about that here. |

Social Scene
Dickinson students are very social. From frat dance parties to gathering in someone's room to watch movies, students (especially freshmen) love to do everything in big groups. It isn't uncommon to find groups of kids chilling at the Quarry together or watching movies in the dorms on weeknights, and students like to meet for study in dorm lounges and the library, as well. Weekends generally start on Thursday, because students usually need to "hunker down" during the week to get their work done, and kids get together with anyone from their roommates and neighbors in the dorms to people they meet in classes to party.
Hookups or Relationships?
Girls on campus are generally more likely to be involved in serious relationships than guys are. Random hookups are as normal here as they are anywhere else.
Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls
The best way students at Dickinson meet each other is through parties and social gatherings of different clubs and organizations. Dance and themed parties sponsored by fraternities and other groups are common and are generally considered to be fun ways to meet people and/or find a hookup. Many students often become close with their freshman residence floors as well, and it is not uncommon to find seniors living with people they met in their dorms freshman year.
Dress Code
Walking on Dickinson's campus is likened by many students to entering a J.Crew catalog. Dress is generally expensive, preppy, and trendy. For girls, the must-haves include fleece North Face jackets, Seven jeans, bags by Longchamp or Vineyard Vines, and Uggs. Guys wear a lot of Ralph Lauren, Vineyard Vines pants, and button-down shirts, as well North Face jackets. Sperry shoes are frequently seen on both sexes. On more casual days, students often wear sweatshirts, sweatpants, and T-shirts with the Dickinson and/or their fraternity or sorority logos. BlackBerrys and iPhones are common accessories.
