    You do get an incredible education at Dickinson. But they drain so much of your money they could at least give you good housing options, have a better class selection process, have better transportation options to get out of Carlisle, etc. The study abroad programs are awesome, though, so junior year take advantage!!

    The education you are going to get here is phenomenal. The professors, guest speakers, etc. are top rate and conduct cutting edge research and partner or guest teach at other prestigious schools such as Harvard, Oxford, etc. The reason I gave it only 4 stars, however, is the amount of money one pours into books and tuition only to use the books minimally or have finance extra hidden fees for many classes.

    For 55k per year, more student life would be appreciated. School does not respond to concerns regarding this. Save your money.

    Extremely highly regarded school. A lot of people know it across the U.S. and internationally. Definitely worth the money.

    This school is very expensive. Although I feel that I am getting a fantastic education, Dickinson College should not cost the same as an ivy league school. That being said, I did receive a very nice financial aid package and I know for a fact that others did as well, so I am not complaining.
