Dickinson College is the 16th-oldest college in the United States. Its country locale in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, helps place it among the most desirable rural schools in the country at No. 20.
The student population of less than 2,500 is composed of entirely undergraduates, who, on average, scored a 31 on the ACT and 1390 on the SAT. Less than 50 percent of applicants are accepted, and the student-to-faculty ratio is 10:1
Students spent just more than $40,000 on tuition and fees to attend the private school in 2009–2010, an increase of about 5 percent from the previous academic year.
