Dickinsonian attitudes toward ROTCs

What is the broad student attitude toward ROTC cadets at Dickinson?

I used to date a Gettysburg AROTC cadet back in the dark ages. Other than the occassional uniform, extra class, and weekend stuff, he fit right in at his college. Intramurals, frat officer, the whole shebang.

Can the same be said nowadays and at Dickinson?

I can't make a general statement, but my D did know a girl in ROTC and she seemed to fit in well with everyone else as far as campus involvement. I know there is a place called the Carlisle Barracks where another of her friends had summer employment.

I have no idea if there is any interaction with Dickinson, but the Army War College is in Carlisle (I think the Carlisle Barracks is associated with it). So I think the town, at least, is hospitable to ROTC students.
