Dartmouth is an incredible learning institution and students receive a great education. It is extremely rural and is hours away from a metropolitan city (the closest is Boston 2.5 hours away), which is not for everyone. Despite that, there are a million ways to be engaged on campus regardless of your interests because students are very proactive in creating and planning events. Greek life is strong and active at Dartmouth, but as someone who is not interested in that scene, I still feel connected to my peers and am welcomed in the Greek life space if I wanted to be involved.
At Dartmouth College, you receive a world-class college education while immersed in an incredible community of culturally diverse people. As a small school, I think that community is Dartmouth's biggest value. The design of Dartmouth's educational track allows you to take your education into your own hands and leaves you room to explore your interests.
Overall, Dartmouth College is a nice sized campus and they take extreme pride in their school. I'm confident that my academic will live up to the standards because of the amazing programs they have. I'm excited for this upcoming school year and so far I'm impressed.
I love Dartmouth for the opportunities it provided for me, and for the academic excellence it boasts that I always have as a strong point on my resume. The resources available to students are vast and endless, if you just go out and look for them. However, I think the prestige of the school can sometimes go to the heads of the professors who focus more on prestige and difficulty rather than student understanding and retention of knowledge. In addition to boasting renowned academics, Dartmouth is incredibly prestigious in all areas, which can feel belittling to the few of us that come from poorer socioeconomic backgrounds and aren't privileged to the 9th degree. In short, go for the academics and the opportunities, be ready for wealth like you've never seen it and the sheltered sometimes ignorant people that go with it.

When trying to find the right college, try to keep in mind what you want out of a college, and make sure the college you attend is strong in that area (whether it is sports, academics, a sense of community, activities, etc.). When you visit the college, make sure you feel comfortable there, and could see yourself happy for the next few years there. To get the best sense of what the college is like stay overnight with a student; sample the classes, the night life, and the weekend activities. To make the most of your college experience make sure everything you do is something you love, or at least helps you get to something you love (ex: a class that you hate but you need for a major that you love). Meet new people, but stay close with the friends that you have both from home and the ones you've already made in college. Talk to professors and other studnets if you need help. Be open to trying everything at least once.
My classmates are brilliant people eager to take on new challenges and make a difference in their own way while having a blast!
Dartmouth's location fosters a very close knit community. The surrounding area is beautiful and the students and professors all love being outdoors.
I'm the last heir from a very distinguished family from India. I like posting thoughts on the World Wide Web. My interests include Culinary Arts, Economics, Movies, and Christianity. Dartmouth College was a good fit for me. The school is neo-classical and gives people like me an opportunity to question aspirations. My college major was Cognitive Science which is interdisciplinary (Math, Psychology, Computer Science, Neurobiology). If I won the lottery, I would donate a sum to Dartmouth College, because I am grateful for the education gained, the friendship memories, and the interest in American politics and life I acquired. Dartmouth College is a small school with a personal community that thrives on intellectual curiosity and service. Its student party scene is thrilling if managed properly. The campus itself is very scenic (and the food is great).
The stereotype is accurate. The problem is that the campus is isolated so wealthy students find it a place to vent frustrations by drinking alcohol. If punishments became too severe, students may turn to harder narcotics. The only solution is to foster inter-fraternity joint-student activities like multi-house parties/festivals.
The English, Psychology, Economics, Anthropology, and Education departments are very good. The professors are happy to work with students personally rather than distribute authority to graduate students and teaching assistants. The class sizes are small, making this advantageous.
That everyone is super laid back and it is the most laid back ivy school. People are normal and like to have a good time.
The worst thing about Dartmouth College would be the lack of diversity, meaning the very small number of black students who self identify as black that attend this school. There is also not many, if at all, activities that Black students like to do. THe culture of Dartmouth is predominatly white or centered around white culture.
The Fraternity scene is huge. The social scene is dominated by it. Student Activities are almost completely overshadowed by the Fraternities, though there is some modest gain in (somewhat related branches) sports, school newspapers, and music groups.
Dartmouth College is an elite school with a strong undergraduate focus and emphasis on the outdoors.
The strong community is the greatest asset.
likes the outdoors, does well academically, and likes to be in a small community.
We have the friendliest, most involved student body.
Open-minded students are best suited for Dartmouth. People who had a true determination to succeed in life and make the best out of their situation.
How to pick classes.
The location would be the most fustrating aspect of Dartmouth College. In general it is extremely hard to find things you need or get to larger cities because of the lack of transportation provided by the college. Also, during the winter it is near impossible to leave the campus because of the poor quality of the roads surroudning the campus and the extreme amounts of snow and ice we recieve during the winters.

Homecoming weekend at Dartmouth focuses less on football and more on the tradition of the bonfire on the green.
The fraternity scene is a large part of the Dartmouth social scene and there is a lot of drinking. Pong is not just a game, it is a culture, a way of life. However, there is no one who will force you to drink.
