Neutrality issues
editThis article reads like an advertisement; many of the statements and descriptions strike me as quite biased. Here is one example--"Each year, Dickinson receives approximately 6,000 applications for its 600 spaces, putting it among the top liberal arts colleges in the nation." There is no support for this statement, nor does Dickinson being "among the top liberal arts colleges" (according to whom?) logically follow from the number of applications received. It might say something along the lines of "putting it among the most applied to liberal arts colleges," but that statement would need support.
- I agree; that's why I cut a lot of the puff. Especially the passages on campus buildings was excessive and had no neutral POV sources. All the references just led back to the Dickinson College homepage. --Melchior2006 (talk) 18:31, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
