Dartmouth College Visit Report by arachnophobia12

Visit Activities:

Admissions Interview: Yes - I had an informal interview with a current student, and learned a lot about the college. She was able to answer all of my questions about admissions and student life at Dartmouth.

Campus Tour: Yes - We took a tour of the entire campus and spent some time in many of the buildings. Our tour guide was really helpful in explaining the importance/function of each building and student life on campus.

Classroom Visit: Yes - I went to a Cultural Anthropology class where racial typologies were discussed. The professor made the class interesting and informative, and the students were able to voice their opinions in class.

Campus:

---

The students at Dartmouth were great! From my student host, to my interviewer, to any student I met on campus, I felt welcomed and accepted by everyone. The students were always willing to help.

---

The staff members I met were all very kind and helpful, whether they were discussing Dartmouth, answering questions, or just saying hi.

---

The Dartmouth campus was so beautiful. There were huge evergreen tress all around, lovely lawns, and great buildings. The campus had a nice, small-town feel and was easy to navigate.

---

The entire campus and buildings were clean and well-maintained; many of the buildings looked brand new.

---

I got to stay in one of the new dorms (Goldstein), and thought it was great. Even though I had a roommate, it felt like I was in a single (partition in middle of room). It was very clean and spacious.

---

Even as I walked alone around the campus at 1:30 am, I felt safe. Dartmouth is in a nice, small town without much crime, but just in case has many machines outside that can easily alert the police.

---

Overall, I loved my experience at Dartmouth. I hope I'll be able to matriculate next fall.

---

Off-Campus:

---

The area around campus was really nice and had great scenery.

---

Hanover is a nice little town; my only problem was the lack of things to do off campus. There wasn't much shopping or eateries to visit.
