Since several students can't find anything interesting to do in the area, most of them revert to partying and drinking. The commitment of the student body is reflected by it's average 2.9 GPA.
The dorms were beyond awful: small, noisy, dirty bathrooms, and expensive. The food is worse than the dorms in both taste and quality.
I transferred in from another school, and transferred out after one semester. In my transfer process, I still had problems with the registrar and student life offices. They take incredibly long to get anything done (i.e., send transcripts & fill out Student Reports).
I will say that the professors were, for the most part, fantastic. They were committed and knowledgeable, and the small school environment allowed them to work very closely with students. This allows students to make of their education what they want. However, the commitment of the students themselves drag down the standard of the curriculum as a whole.

Davis & Elkins College is everything I could've hoped for in higher education. All of the professors, staff, and faculty that I have had the pleasure of coming in contact with have been incredibly helpful and supportive. Learning at Davis & Elkins College is like nothing I have experienced before, the professors are hands-on and willing to help you as much as you need.
Aside from being on a sports team, I would have no reason to attend Davis and Elkins college. Overall it is not a great place to be, the campus is pretty but the campus life is not great. When the board of trustees is here talking to students, students are told what they are allowed to and not allowed to say. The students do not get a big enough voice, change takes forever to actually happen, the dorms are disgusting and administration does not care.
