With over 40,000 people calling the Carlisle area home, Dickinsonians frequent the eclectic dining and shopping options; intern, work and volunteer with local businesses; explore nature on the Appalachian Trail; and head to nearby Harrisburg, New York, D.C., Philly or Baltimore for concerts, trips and exploration. Carlisle was recognized on the Best College Towns in America list and is a Forbes “most livable city.”
