A town. Nothing less, nothing more. A small town just like ones all across America, where the kids want to get out and the tourists never leave. All the high schoolers ever want to do is leave; move to a big city, have the time of their lives somewhere else. They have a right to. Being one of those kids, I understand. It's not the most exciting place, but they can't deny it's beautiful. And we all know that one day we'll consider it cool to have grown up in such a place.

Davenport: Did you see the yokel farmhands eating Gettysburg Sausages for lunch?

Battlefield Tourist: Yeah, I hope they choked on them! They were too lazy to help me after they saw my family and I being robbed by street gang members in Gettysburg.

Small liberal arts school in the south central pa, about an hour and a half from washington or baltimore. Gettysburg's academic programs can be either very challenging or very easy. For example, the typical gettysburg management major ( the schools watered down version of business) can go out 7 nights a week and still manage to get As and Bs. Meanwhile, students with majors within the science department are rarely seen out on days other than friday or saturday due to very demanding coursework and slightly biased liberal arts core requirements. Also, Gettysburg College has a huge emphasis on Greek Life. Almost all upperclassmen are somehow involved, which is advantageous because theres not much else to do during the weekend otherwise. Meanwhile, the school waters down the percent of greek students to incoming students, not mentioning that freshman arent allowed to rush. so thats about 600-700 kids that arent in greek life because they arent allowed to be. The majority of Gettysburg students are white upper-middle to upper class students. Don't be surprised to see a lot of pastels, popped collars, lilly pulitzer, and loafers on both men and women. Also, most students are conservative; however, the presence of liberals on this campus has been growing in the past years. Overall, Gettysburg is an Ok place to go. Most importantly a degree from Gettysburg looks great regardless of who you are. Just expect to fit the image

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
