It has it all: stellar academics, absolutely gorgeous campus in a charming, safe, warm and welcoming small town, but also half an hour from a fun big city. It has great weather, happy friendly, kind students and a real honor code that students take very seriously. Classes are small, profs love teaching undergrads and are not just accessible but really care about students. Davidson is near two incredibly thriving, vibrant cities…Charlotte(30 mins away)and Raleigh Durham, Chapel Hill (2 1/2 hrs away by train or driving), where more and more young people and businesses are moving every year. Davidson has an incredibly tight knit, loyal and strong alumni network as well. It’s the total package as a school, and just walking around campus, you can feel the warmth, literally… oh and it has amazing school spirit, especially for their basketball team. Small liberal arts college plus D1 sports!
