Campus Visit Notes for Dartmouth College:
Visit Description:
Not for the city slicker, parties were fun, but if ur not into the frat scene, you better get connected to dorm parties i guess. ALot of availible alcohol, alo of beer pong. People generally attractive, some were super hot tho. Not that diverse at the frat houses tho. O and frat houses are dirty/gross/eww
classes were awesome, and students were too
affinity houses kind of freaked me out tho, all the native americans/latinos/asian/black ppl living together? made me feel a lil uncomfortable (im african american)
any other questions, pm me
