The word from: the Students

Students at Dartmouth work hard and take it very seriously, that could end up making them unhappy but it's quite the contrary, they're happy and have lot's of fun. It's a small school but that doesn't mean it lacks opportunities and it's quite challenging without being competitive. Great academics and very accessible professors are pluses as well. Dartmouth gives a lot of focus to under-graduates, contrary to other Ivy League universities that concentrate on research. Adopting a calendar distribution of 4 10-weeks terms, Dartmouth intends to maximize flexibility. Professors are wonderful, academically and as people, many of the greatest minds in the country teach at Dartmouth and they're very willing to just sit and chat with students, making it very comfortable to study in here.

There's a great sense of community and tradition among students, meaning there's a huge school spirit. Outdoors' activities are many and encouraged, the student body tends to be very involved in those, things like hiking, biking, rock climbing, skiing. There are of course indoors activities too such as partying. There aren't however many city activities to participate in due to the city's small size. Most of the people attend parties at frats on the weekends as to compensate for the lack of things to do at night. Students are very involved in campus organizations and sports teams too.

The typical student is hard to define mainly because Dartmouth wants to create a world of very different people. Mainly the people here are well-balanced individuals and out going, as different from each other as they can be, from jocks to geeks, but everyone gets to find the place to fit in.
