Davidson College Top Questions

Davidson is located in a college town and is a very intimate community. Students learn immediately how close-knit the campus is but students also learn how closely intertwined the campus and community are as well. One experience I won't forget was this year's basketball season. There was so much excitement about the NCAA and when we beat Georgetown for a spot in the sweet sixteen there was an overwhelming amount of excitement. No classes were cancelled so that students could attend the game, however, the trustees decided to pay for every student to go to the game if they wanted to. Trustees' paid for the tickets, the bus to Detroit and the hotel. It was amazing to see so many students be able to support their school 13 hours up the road. We made it to the Elite Eight and even though we lost and didn't get to the Final Four the entire town was rejoicing. I returned from Detroit to see the homes of Davidson with signs supporting our team. It was wonderful to see everyone so proud of the campus and it was definitely one of the most memorable times of my freshman year.
