[quote=Anonymous]For my last (of five) it was SMCM. The water is beautiful but we didn’t find the campus itself at all attractive or well-maintained (the gigantic potholes in the athletic center lot were almost impressive). And the surrounding areas are depressing, little more than a collection of fast food joints and a supermarket clustered along the highway outside of the naval base, and even that was a solid 10-15 minute drive away. The big Lock Her Up flag in between didn’t help the ambience. Historic St. Mary’s City is very interesting (and adjacent to campus) but probably doesn’t add much to the student experience. But it was a helpful trip as he realized he wanted a small school like SMCM but one near or in a real town, at the very least a few alternatives to the dining hall that didn’t require a drive. Probably why he ended up at Dickinson. (Which isn’t perfect either but he fell hard for it.)[/quote]
