Dson is a top notch school. Pros: Picturesque campus, easily accessible town, stuff's ALWAYS happening, lots of excellent academic, domestic, and social resources, friendly student population, very safe Cons: The food can be disappointing sometimes, but is usually pretty good, the Wi-Fi isn't optimal, but is widely spread and easily accessible

Awesome LAC! Intelligent, risk-taking and quirky college students who aren't afraid to take a stand on an important issue and change the world for the better! Very, very friendly and beautiful campus located in the foothills of the Appalachians. A variety of clubs and events! Faculty and Administration are caring, wonderful and accessible! A+

this school has a bad public safety. they do not help their students. I do not feel safe here. The food is awful and hurts your stomach for the first two weeks. expensive school and not totally worth it.
Overall 2
it is an ok school. the food is bad and hurts your stomach. the food became worse after covid hit and never recovered. the safety service here does not help if you need it. ok school but wouldn't have chosen it after all that I know.
