Davidson College Top Questions

we are just a bunch of nerds.

Rich, preppy, white kids born with a silver spoons in their mouths.

Sheltered, over-studious

That we work too much.

Athletic, preppy students, serious and hard-working, stressed out with a lot of work, want to make a difference, are very committed to a lot of organizations and sometimes find it hard to manage time, interested in politics, being vocal about issues, work hard and play hard, lots of spirit.

Davidson tends to be overlooked because of it's small size of 1700 students. It gets the rep for being really hard, too much work. People think the majority of campus is Type A and not very diverse. They do your laundry. People also don't know where it is, so often one must say " I go to Davidson, a small liberal arts college north of Charlotte, NC."

We study a lot. We also love life, though!

At first glance, Davidson looks quite preppy. Also, some people think Davidson students work so hard that there isn't time for fun.

That we are smart and work all the time.

That we have a lot of work, and that all we concentrate on is the work that we have to do. Sometimes people think that we don't really have any fun because we are concentrated on all our work. Otherwise I guess the biggest stereotype is that we all wear boat shoes, popped collars and carry Vineyard Vines bags.
