Davidson College Top Questions

1) Yes, but there is a great social life as well. 2) It is not as southern as I initally thought. Although you def hear the occasional twang, there are people from all over the country.

Pretty much. The people here are very smart, but not everyone is study crazy. People love to go out on weekends and have fun. People are athletic and involved in a million activities, and religion plays a big part in peoples lives.

We know how to party in our own way. And we are not very diverse, but for such a small school I say we do well, and we're working on our diversity. It's a huge issue on campus.

pretty much.

In general, yes. The students dress fairly preppy. There are always lots of sundresses, khaki pants, pastel polos, and half the students look like they could model for J. Crew. However, at the same time, the other half of the student body is in a Davidson shirt and sweatpants or jeans. There is a large religious community on campus who are very sincere about their faith. The typical Davidson student would consider themselves a Christian (or other religion) but mostly just in name. Welcome to the Bible Belt! Not all girls wear black pants and pearls. But there are a lot of pearls. The academics are very challenging. I think we sometimes don't get enough credit for how hard Davidson students work.

Yes

For the most part.

No. There are definitely the preppy snobs and awkward nerds, but for the most part I find a good amount of diverse people and styles on campus.

To some extent. Almost every person here is a nerd in some way or another, but there are still a lot of laid back people.

Its really not a 'southern school' yes we are in the South but it doesn't fit the typical 'Southern School' stereotype at all! Yes preppy, but there is also lots of diversity here. Very hard working too.
