[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a physics instructor and taught at both Dickinson and Bucknell, and the students at Dickinson were much more with-it and focused.[/quote]

Interesting.  The students we've known who headed off to Bucknell definitely were more academically advanced than those going to Dickinson.

Dickinson is sort of like the Elon of the mid-Atlantic.[/quote]

Dickinson alum here. There's definitely a white privileged type that's smart but not brilliant but I'd put Dickinson quite a bit above Elon. Both for academic rigor and the quality of career opportunities and name recognition. There were many student-faculty research opportunities and some profs invited us to their homes for dinner and beers. My classmates got recruited by companies that never would have bothered years ago. And unlike Kenyon or Hamilton at least we had a walkable, affordable town at our doorstep. I chose Dickinson over these schools and some NESCAC schools because being at an even tinier college on a hill drinking in the woods sounded awful. It wasn't a real college town but miles better than Clinton, NY or Gambier.[/quote]
