Two of my D’s friends are at Occidental. Both spent a lot of time abroad on various programs. One has graduated and is working for an NGO in Africa. Other than a freshman year roommate problem (which can happen anywhere) there were both very happy at Oxy.

I’d think about where you might want to live post grad. Oxy if fairly well known on the West Coast. Dickenson, not so much and vice versa. You should also look at the language offerings for the language you’re interested in at each school.
