Diversity exists if you know what clubs to find. We´re definitely not even remotely diverse, but there are groups on campus that you can get involved with that try to promote and embrace diversity. The students know how homogenous the school is, but something keeps people applying.

As a freshmen, you can´t rush or pledge. Sophomore year though, I´d say a vast majority of students go Greek. I love Gettysburg´s Greek scene, which is good because it´s huge and amazingly fun. The college does sponsor other events if you´re not into Greek life, although I´m not entirely sure how popular it is. House parties are pretty popular too, although mostly it´s to pregame before going out to a frat.

There are tons of awesome restaurants around Gettysburg...thank you tourists! LDs is a late night/brunch choice of many college students. It definitely kills those hangovers really quickly. Ping´s is awesome for sushi and Chinese food. Pizza House and Roman Inn are open late and have amazing pizza. La Bella's is awesome for Italian. There are really nice restaurants, too, if you´re looking for a place to eat with parents. Check out Blue Parrot, Dobbin House, and Gingerbread Man, just to name a few.

Off campus living is only for seniors and there´s an application process you have to go through and be approved before you can sign a lease. Not very many people do it. There may be like 15 or so houses that get leased. It´s definitely an option for students that want more independence their senior year. Most people just stick with on campus housing though.

I absolutely love it at Gettysburg. I´ve never thought about transferring or going anywhere else. For me there´s a prerfect balance of academic and social life, and everyone including professors are extremely nice. You can get one on one attention here if you need it, and I just love taking 20 minutes to walk somewhere because I keep running into people I know.
