Well Hanover is a blessing and a curse in many ways. So I'll break it down

The Pros:
- Amazing nature setting. If you like to hike/ canoe/ whitewater/ ski/ snowboard insert nature activity here Dartmouth can't be beat! We have the DOC and Ledyard Canoe club to name a few, and there's always something to do outside.
- The tiny town of Hanover means you can get anywhere in it easily by walking. Downside to this is not much in Hanover to get to by walking :P. But we do have all the essentials, and a free bus service to westleb which has such luxuries as a Walmart and Chilie's!
-Close-knight campus. As cliche as it might sound, the small campus really does promote unity.
- No state sales tax. What you see is what you pay. Need I say more?
-Virtually no crime .

The Cons:
-In the winter is gets cold....very, very cold. And snowy.
-We are far away from any big city. The closest is Boston, which is a good 2-3 hours away by bus.
-Hanover Police get bored and like to harass the occasional student.

Hope that helped some!
