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.

Barely Visible

The only times when drugs are visible is when someone is noticeably inebriated. Peer pressure is only limited to you choice of acquaintances. Drug use is enforced by the campus police in which there are citations leading to possible arrest.

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.
