Is the stereotype of students at Davidson College accurate?

Charlie

No. I live on a hall of 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} athletes and the other 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} regularly participate in club sports or just play pick up b-ball or frisbee for fun. But very few people are "jocks." Academics here are very intense. You can't get in as an athlete without being committed to classes. By the same token, you can't get be a student here without spending a lot of time playing sports.

Davidson does have a lot of work; however, it isn't unmanageable once a student discovers time management Students do study A LOT and everyone is very intense about grades, etc.; however, students are involved in all aspects of the college and definitely make time for extracurriculars and fun
