i have friends that go to both -- i've heard that dickinson is more centered on being artsy i guess would be the right word. the girl i know who goes there always says how 'chill' it is (her word, not mine), so i guess it would be more laidback than colgate..? anyways, dickinson she also said was focused on like the individual student's experience as opposed to the experience as a class, so i guess its for more independently-minded people.. she also said that no one cared how much money the other had, who they were in high school, what sport they did/didnt play, or how they dressed -- she said this as a benefit, not a drawback.
anyway, i personally adore colgate and the people i know who go there always say just how wonderful and rounded the experience is and how much fun they have with their friends. i got into to both dickinson and colgate (and a bunch of other places -- i kinda over-applied), but will be attending the latter
