I've only been at Dickinson for one year and I can overall say that I am pretty happy. I think its a beautiful campus that I love walking through each morning. The caf is questionable but the Snar is better. The nightlife is decent, I think its like an average college party. Even though I haven't experienced the bars. I honestly really like this school and something that I have learned through my first year is that you need to make things happen, don't wait for things to happen to you.

Dickinson College has some of the best marketers in the business and stupidly believed everything they pitched to first generation college students. I found most of the student body arrogant, close-minded, and to my surprise--considering how many of them went to elite private schools--anti-intellectual. In hindsight, I am glad I was poor enough to get 90% funding, but the curriculum seemed aimless and there lacked sold career counseling beyond the typical graduate-professional fields. I wish I had something more positive to say about my time there, but I don't. I regret not transferring after my freshman year.

The real issue is at Dickinson the Administration. The sexual assault policy is a good example. Last March, there were student protests and a sit in about the SEXUAL ASSAULT POLICY. It seems the school allows sexual offenders to come back to campus. (Google ?Dickinson sexual assault?) The sit in was ended when the President and the Provost made a statement on March 4, 2011 that ?GOING FORWARD, EXPULSION IS THE ONLY AVAILABLE SANCTION FOR RAPE.?

Nine month later (December of 2011) the school published a new sexual assault policy that ELIMINATED ITS DEFINITION OF RAPE and NEVER REQUIRES EXPULSION FOR ANY SEXUAL OFFENSE! If the President and the Provost don?t keep their word, how can you trust them?
