While You're in Gettysburg

The town of Gettysburg presents an enviable location, with a lively local atmosphere and close proximity to Washington D.C., Baltimore, Harrisburg and Philadelphia. Looking at other Pennsylvania colleges? Gettysburg is an ideal place to anchor your visit to other colleges in the area.

Patron of the arts?  Check out the Majestic Theater, just down the street from campus, where everything from Broadway musicals and Indie film festival flicks are shown alongside Gettysburg College students' music and theatre ensemble performances.  Or, head down to view Henri Matisse sculptures at the Baltimore Museum of Art, or an exhibit on The Cinema Effect at the Smithsonian in D.C. 

Sports fan?  Cheer our Gettysburg Bullets on during a game of one of our 24 varsity sports for men and women; or, visit the Orioles' Camden Yards and the Washington Capitals' MCI Center, only about an hour away. 

Outdoor enthusiast? Head to nearby Caledonia State Park and Michaux State Forest for hiking, swimming, fishing, climbing, kayaking, and mountain biking. Gettysburg is also with half an hour of the Appalachian Trail.

Looking to play a round of golf? There are a large number of beautiful and reasonably-priced golf courses are in the greater Gettysburg area.  From the Links at Gettysburg, where the College's team competes, to Carroll ValleyCedar RidgeMountain View or Piney Apple, there are options for golfers of all levels.

Of course, you can't stop in Gettysburg without seeing the battlefields, so head over to the Gettysburg National Park Visitor's Center and plan your tour.

Gettysburg students love to take advantage of everything the area has to offer, whether it's hanging out at the College's on-campus night club, The Attic, going to Midnight Madness at the dining center, playing some mini-golf at Mulligan MacDuffer's or hitting the slopes at Ski Liberty, or doing some shopping at the Gettysburg Outlet Shoppes.
