Why Dickinson? Dickinson offers a solid undergraduate education with options for independent study, interdisciplinary work and study abroad programs. These opportunities typically include considerable flexibility of program choices and are responsive to the needs of students like myself who were initially undecided about what career path to choose before entering college.
Comments: A little piece of advice for prospective international students- Be open and responsive to meeting different people. Don't judge or expect too much of others. Get involved, and make the most of your college experience! If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me.
Advice: Moving half way across the world to attend college was a big step which has matured me and inculcated in me the skills and abilities I will need to survive in the "real world".
Favorite Thing: The close relationships I have developed with my peers and professors, and the strawberry croissants in the Underground :)
