Currently a student at Dickinson College from Colorado. Due to your interest in premed and research opportunities I recommend you look into Dickinson. Our premed program is very strong and if you choose to go through it you will not only have an advisor for your intended major, but also a separate advisor through the program to help guide you and make sure you take the proper classes to get you into med school. We also have endless opportunities for research and any major can partake in research. Since we are undergraduate you will not be competing with any graduate students for research opportunities. I have plenty of friends that are currently doing research on campus or that have done research in the past during the summer.
There is also a lot of outdoor activities here. We have the Outing Club that students can join and partake in fun weekend trips whether it’s hiking, camping, canoeing, or kayaking. We also have a location on campus where you can rent out gear for these activities if you would prefer to just go with friends rather than the entire club. We do have some skiing nearby as well and in the winter, the Outing Club will do trips to go skiing as well.
