I love Davidson! Students at Davidson work really hard, but are also super fun and friendly people. The faculty is amazing, I have loved all of my professors.

Overall 4.6
Academically elite; highest quality undergrad teaching; so many opportunities to get involved in research, activism, fine arts, or whatever else you're interested in; generally strong social scene, but not state school parties (plenty of social activities outside of partying as well), administration sometimes overly restrictive of social life
Overall 4.5
One of the best education you can get.

Davidson really needs to be recognized more for the outstanding experience it provides. The honor code builds trust among students and teachers. And, the small class size allows students to easily interact with the teachers. Outside class, the student body participates in different clubs and engages in social activism to confront injustice.
Overall 4.5
The best decision I have ever made was to attend Davidson College. I have grown exponentially as a student and as a person. The professors are incredibly dedicated to teaching, and the administration is extremely supportive and responsive to student wants and needs. It is heaven for an intelligent, inquisitive, impactful, and honorable person.
