Visit Activities:
Information Session: Yes - Pretty much the same spiel that the other Ivy Leagues give. One big thing is that there are practically no grad schools at Dartmouth (a blessing and a curse).
Campus Tour: Yes - Pretty much standard.
Classroom Visit: Yes - The profs are really nice about you listening in on their classes, as are the students.

Campus Visit Notes for Dartmouth College
Visit Description:
It was raining when I arrived. Really hard... umbrella-breaking hard. But the second day was nicer.
I think the biggest thing for a west-coaster like me was how cold it was. It was freezing there, even when it stopped raining.
Hotel/Lodging Recommendations or Comments:
The Hanover Inn looks good, although I didn't stay there.
Dining/Restaurant Recommendations or Comments:
The little alley next to the campus that they like to call "downtown" has some great places to eat.
Other Comments (Transportation, local attractions, parking, etc.):
There's a bus that runs fairly often (twice daily, I think) from the Manchester Airport to Hanover.
