Thanks for the advice everyone! I really like both schools a lot. I am hoping to join the peace corps after graduation, then maybe going back to graduate school in pursuit of a Foreign Service career. I really like both schools a lot but am leaning towards Occidental right now. The Diplomacy and World Affairs major is a great fit for my interests (especially the semester at the UN program!!!), I love the sun, and there is so much to do in LA. Dickinson does offer more languages than Oxy though, including Arabic which I really want to learn. Could anyone describe the student body/campus atmosphere? I have done a ton of research on both schools, but anyone’s perspective from visiting, attending, or having a son/daughter/friend attend would be awesome.
