Boooooring

Carlisle itself has very little to offer in terms of entertaining young people. However, the proximity of Dickinson to major cities like New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia, DC, etc. offers some exciting travel opportunities.

No-Go for Underclassmen

Only available to seniors; even then it's pretty difficult to get off campus. However, on-campus apartments for upperclassmen are pretty nice, so it's not that big of a deal.

It's Here, but You Don't Need to Be Part of It.

Like any campus, there are people who choose to spend their weekends drinking or doing drugs. However, it is something that can be EASILY AVOIDED if you do not want to be part of it.
