I could never put into words how much I love this place.

I'm a very introverted person, but I've found that there are a lot of opportunities to get involved. If there isn't a club you like, it's easy enough to make one. Though there are a lot of fraternities and sororities, their events are open to non-members, so they're not exclusive - though they can be a bit intimidating, I suppose. Beautiful campus.
Overall 4.7
Gettysburg has offered me so many opportunities to travel around the world, network with high ranking officials, and to challenge my beliefs. Proximity to DC is great. The campus is small enough that leadership positions are plentiful but big enough to meet a lot of incredible people. Scholarships are generous. I love this school.

This college is in the middle of nowhere. It has a great reputation and some great professors but it's not worth coming here. There's nothing to do, nothing going on, a lot of students are rude and uneducated. DO NOT COME HERE.
