Dickinson College Top Questions

It is at the forefront of the environmental movement and is well respected for its fantastic language and study abroad programs and should be known nationally for these achievements. I am very proud to have attended such a long-established college and do my best to spread the word.

The worst thing about my school is that there is not very much to do in Carlisle. You end up walking to walmart and the movie theater a lot. It also rains a lot, which can bring your spirits down a little.
