We see things differently.

In class, on campus and around the world, we pride ourselves on our distinctive approach to education, to experiential opportunities, to preparing students to be forever useful.

Our students combine a rigorous, hands-on academic experience with engagement in a vibrant and supportive social community. They excel in stellar Division III athletics programs, offer their time and talents through clubs and service work, collaborate with renowned faculty in and out of the classroom, seek opportunities to engage in global experiences and green initiatives, and move beyond the limestone walls into the Carlisle community and beyond.

Here’s a glimpse into this distinctively Dickinson experience.

In our own words.

“My favorite memory on campus is from my first year during finals week. The sun was shining through Memorial Hall right onto my face. With 30 minutes left to turn in my paper, I sat in one of the Adirondack chairs and thought about how lucky I was to be in a place where, in the middle of finals week after one of the most difficult papers I had ever written, I felt calm.”

—Margot Cardamone, Mill Valley, Calif., Italian studies and history

“If you want something, go and get it. Dickinson has shown me I can do that.”

—Christian Beitel, Bethel, Conn., international studies

“ Every English major gets to work on an in-depth project with a professor in a workshop setting. We think that the experience of collaboration is crucial enough that we want each of our majors to have the opportunity.”

—Carol Ann Johnston, professor of English

“ Every time we leave the classroom, it’s really exciting. Everything we learn in the field, we could learn in the classroom, but we’re onsite, seeing it firsthand.”

—Eller Mallchok, Chattanooga, Tenn., biology

“ The student accomplishments that reinforce why I love to teach here are the instances where I see students graduate with much broader and brighter horizons than they imagined for themselves.

Sometimes that happens when a student tells me that she has been admitted to Yale or Columbia Law School, or to a graduate program at Harvard or Brown or Pitt. A college can’t change every student’s life. But Dickinson does change the lives of many of our students. And sometimes I get to watch that happen.”

—Doug Edlin, associate professor of political science
