Davidson College Top Questions

Often times they are outdoors-y, athletically inclined and very service oriented. You will meet lots of kids from boarding schools, but you will meet other kids who do not have a particular place to call home or are from a foreign country. I would say many here are liberal, this is not a good school for a conservative person. A lot of times kids will butt heads with the administration for causes that they find important, but are actually really small in comparison to other problems going around in the world. Many students here also love to talk about what they love, we're a pretty passionate community.

As a male at Davidson I will say that the girls are not very good looking and most guys end up dating girls from other schools. Everyone takes their work very seriously and their are very few opportunities to enjoy the college experience. Everyone at Davidson feels like they are trying to survive until they can go home or graduate. People at Davidson are very, very inteligent but we all come to the realization that we can't get into good grad schools or good jobs because of Davidson grade deflation, so we all do this for nothing.
