Davidson College Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Karen

Davidson was very transparent in its descriptions that I read before applying early decision. It boasted its honor code, tough classes, dedicated students, small size, and many other things. When I began school at Davidson, there were no surprises. Everything was as I expected. For some students it was a perfect match while for others it was not their cup of tea. But there was nothing that Davidson tried to hide from its prospective students. Instead, my vision of Davidson only flourished upon my arrival.

Davidson is very academically rigorous, and students have to possess strong self-discipline for studying if they expect to succeed there. I wish I had known how to be a better student before I went to Davidson, because I found myself slightly outclassed by my peers, most of whom had gone to more demanding high schools. I eventually picked up good study habits, but my freshman year proved to be more difficult than I expected.
