Dartmouth College

Dartmouth College is a private Ivy League liberal arts college in Hanover, New Hampshire, known for intense but close‑knit undergraduate education, strong programs in government, economics, engineering sciences, computer science, and the humanities, plus a picturesque, residential campus in the Upper Valley. Students often rave about the tight‑knit “Dartmouth family,” small classes, vibrant Greek life, the First‑Year Trips outdoor‑orientation program, and a quirky, outdoorsy campus culture that balances rigor and fun.

“I love Dartmouth’s small‑town‑in‑the‑woods feel, how close‑knit everyone becomes through First‑Year Trips and small classes, but from a past‑student view I’ll say the tough winters, the constant pressure to be ‘on,’ and the way the social scene can feel dominated by Greek life were all heavier than the campus‑brochure ever showed.”
