My son visited Dickinson and loved the atmosphere, walking distance to town, and connections with the staff. Connecticut College has offered the max merit scholarship ,with Dickinson and F & M not offering any aid and Gburg and American offering some. He liked CT’s honor code and campus, but is concerned about the distance from our home near Phila. American is appealing to him as well. My son is very shy bookworm and is trying to find a balance between the schools that offer the most interesting History, Classics, Languages and possibly Environmental Science courses with a non-party school atmoshphere.
