All classes are over by 4pm Friday. Relax, maybe take a nap before hitting the thrift store for a sweet costume for the night's themed party. Eat dinner at the Union or Commons then go see the Poetry Slam/Mike Posner/Maroon 5/The Royal Shakespeare Company/basketball game/film screening. After hanging with friends or doing homework, head down the hill around 11:30 or later. Safely and responsibly enjoy the court, the parties, the people till 2am. Wake up around noon Saturday and enjoy brunch at Commons. Hit the books, outside if it isn't November-- Feburary or at your favorite study spot. Toss a frisbee around on a well deserved break and take a nap Eat dinner then play lasertag/ Super Smash Bros'/hangout/ see a lecture/do homework. Once is gets dark, either hit the court again or take part in a union board activity-- hopefully involving free massages or chocolate or puppies. Or if it's exam time: all three! Manage mischief for the rest of the night and plan to go to bed by 1am. End up going to bed by 3am at the earliest, but hey it's college! Wake up groggy around noon Sunday and shower, eat brunch at Commons and gradually awake to the realization that you still have that paper to write and that book to read. Spend the rest of the day and night working and cursing the bad decisions of the weekend.

A lot of Davidson students are socially awkward/nerdy, which comes from an incredibly sheltered upbrining, but going to Davidson doesn't help then come out of their weird ass bubbles at all. I really don't like your average Davidson student, they're just weird adn awkward.

Davidson is awesome. But not if you're a huge slacker, want a big school, a city school, or a school where there are good snow sports. Also, don't come here if you KNOW you want to do music, theater, or art--our departments aren't bad, they're just not the school's focus. Actually, the art department is pretty sweet--I took a basic sculpture class and we learned how to weld, use a ton of power tools, and we did lost-wax bronze casting. So the art dept.'s pretty legit. Also, despite some stereotypes I've heard, Davidson students definitely know how to party. You just need to know where to go.

Yes, it's true. Davidson does its students laundry. But it's really not as amazing as everyone outside of the Davidson community seems to think it is. They use odorless detergent and every year a rumor floats around the freshman class that they don't use any detergent at all. About half of the student body chooses to do their own laundry. Stephen Curry is our hero right now.

This place is amazing

I really love Davidson. It's tough but it's worth it.

nope. That about covers it.

Davidson has a beautiful campus and wonderful facilities!

Academics. At. Davidson. Are. Hard. Professors almost always know your name (and classes are small enough that you will get called on, if not normally than frequently). Especially in the arts and languages class discussion is huge. Reading assignments will take hours on end, papers abound, problem sets are lengthy, and class participation is required in most courses. Course offerings can be limited but consequently your profs will only have the utmost knowledge of their subject -- they don't spread themselves into disciplines they're not knowledgeable about. Despite how interesting they can be, pretty much any course at Davidson is an ass-kicker; I have yet to find an "easy course".

The student body is primarily white and maybe a bit too republican for my taste. There isn't much diversity. The people who "go out" are all the same and love eating houses and fraternities while the people who don't "go out" are a bit more nerdy and like to study a lot. People who are liberal or enviornmentally concious/ not religious might feel out of place. As a northerner, it is sometimes weird being down in the south. This school is geared towards having people work in Charlotte in a banking job.

Davidson truly has a community feel to it. You'll know most students by sight at least and you will form real relationships with staff and faculty. Trust here is a given because of the honor code. The Honor Council president told the freshman at orientation that the honor code creates a way of life, and I have found that to be completely accurate. The community is built on the trust formed by mutual commitment to each other and the honor code. One thing I really like is the administration. We have a new president who even as a freshman, I've met three or four times. The administration is interested and eager to hear what students have to say - not something you get a lot of places. If you want to be part of a tight knit community that will be there for you for the rest of your life, then join us at Davidson!

For a tiny liberal arts college, Davidson holds its own. You know you belong here as soon as you walk on campus, and that assured feeling might falter but it never changes.

Academics are difficult but definitely doable. Professors are great and really want to help you out. Office hours with professors is extremely helpful.

all of the professors strive to get to know their students in class and outside of class, frequently inviting students over for dinner or going out for a drink at the Brickhouse. My favorite classes have been chemistry of art and artifacts and human biology (sciences for non-major) and all of my spanish classes (which made me want to be a spanish major), theater classes were always fun and interesting, I loved my Writing course freshman year. We only had 13 people in the class and we talked about images of disability in literature and how it's perceived by society as well. I hated the one and only math class I took, but in retrospect the professor was very open and always available and wanted the students to succeed. but i took the class as a freshman and never liked math to begin with. there is great class participation, my favorite thing about davidson has been the people because of the intellectual conversations we ahve outside of class. there is no competition here, which i love. that was a major reason for me to come to davidson. my major is spanish, the department is extremely helpful and they care so much about their students. I have had hte best experience with my thesis director this semester and he has always looked out for me. when iw ent abroad, I took 8 classes that I needed to receive credit for at Davidson and the spanish department was very accomodating and made sure that all of my classes counted toward my major. i see professors outside of class in office hours and my shakespeare professor this semester is hosting a birthday party for Shakespeare at his house in the coming weeks. the academic requirements helped me choose my major, I am in favor of them. Even taking math wasn't so bad... the education at Davidson is not geared toward a specific career path but it will help you get a job because it trains you to be trainable and flexible. You learn skills that will always be important and useful no matter what job you apply for or higher level education you enroll into after Davidson. You will learn to analyze, discuss, and use your writing.

Making progress concerning diversity, but we have a long way to go.

I am in an eating house and i much prefer that to a sorority. Eating houses aren't caddy and don't foster competition between girls. All of my best friends are in my eating house.

The academics here are probably the hardest part about going here. I mean I know that I'll end up getting a good job once I graduate but in reality every single class is increasingly challenging so I'm usually pretty stressed a lot of the time. But for the most part professors are great, I learn a lot and always get to know my professors outside of class. Everyone is here at Davidson for the academics- thats the first reason everyone came here for and what everyone stays focused on.

Davidson is a hard school in terms of work load and demanding a lot of its students but that also goes for outside the classroom as well. Students all have a lot of homework and are very involved in activities around campus, but everyone manages this. It's hard but definitely doable. Also, there are a lot of students that are preppy but there are also a lot of students that are just down to earth and chill. Whatever type you are you can find someone like you and everyone is really nice for the most part.
