[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thoughts on Gettysburg?

DC has already been admitted to Allegheny and Wooster with decent merit aid ~40-43K[/quote]

Gettysburg has some great programs, political science and history are particularly strong. But the town itself is small and tourist driven. The tour guide mentioned weekly bus trips to a Walmart around 20 minutes away. [/quote]

There is a bus that runs several times a day from campus to various locations around town, including Walmart. But lots of students, even first years, have cars. There are grocery and other stores within walking distance. Plus in 2024, anything you want can be ordered from Amazon Prime, so access to Walmart is not that important.

The alumni network is fantastic, and as PP noted, the first year dorms could be better. It is a good school for solid students who couldn't get into more highly ranked programs, Division 3 athletes, and those that want a smaller school and more personal attention from profs. Historically there has been a strong Greek culture, but that is changing as the college has intentionally tried to pull in a more diverse set of students.[/quote]
