That is so odd; that is the exact opposite experience we had. The students seemed "quirky" the day we went. We loved the campus (minus the dining situation) and the town, but getting a read on the students was hard. Our tour guide was kind of a no-nonsense type of student. She was a good tour guide but didn't seem particularly excited about the school. She was not in many clubs but was a serious student. The location is excellent. It's closer to DC than many of the VA schools. When we toured, they had just picked a new president. I know our tour guide was disappointed that the other president was leaving.

I did a quick search, and it looks like improvements are coming to the dining situation: https://thedickinsonian.com/news/2023/02/06/50-million-hub-renovation-to-be-largest-capital-project-in-dickinson-history.

We recently toured and I definitely didn’t get a quirky vibe and we were there on a busy weekday and saw tons of students. I posted earlier that we thought it was a really nice campus set up adjacent to the town. Our guide was quite enthusiastic about the school, is a sophomore with a great internship lined up for the summer, and we came away surprised at how much we liked it. The kids seemed very mainstream to me, and not particularly nerdy - which in our case made me think it wasn’t quite the right fit for my DC, but it’s still under consideration and I really liked the school’s focus on languages, study abroad and sustainability including their nearby farm.

I'm the PP who got the "quirky" vibe. We should have visited it more than once, but we were running out of time. My kids are more mainstream. I have another child who will be looking at schools soon, so I will take him up to visit. I really thought it had a lot going for it. [/quote]
