Davidson College Top Questions

What's the dating scene like?

Many people say you're either hooking up, or in a serious relationship here. And I've found that to be generally true.

Davidson's dating scene barely meets the definition of a 'scene'. Many students on campus are in serious relationships, lasting years if not lifetimes. Many other students participate in hookups and the casual kinetic dating scene of dance floors. While occasionally two students will begin to date, standards are high and the field is limited. If there is a bad break, there is no avoiding each other. With this in mind, it seems that dating at Davidson is limited not because a lack of opportunity or will, but because of just how catastrophic it can be to see an ex every single day for the rest of college. With raised stakes comes a lowered participation.
