hello, i applied to dartmouth for freshman admission knowing little about the school. so in the end, i didn’t put enough effort in to my apps and in to strengthening my stats, in the end i was rejected. But ever since i was rejected, i have looked in to the college, i find that it is very fitting for me, it’s small and it’s not in the middle of the loud noise and pollution. can someone just tell me what studying at dartmouth is like?
if you would, please give me a general idea of studying at dartmouth, any response would be greatly appreciated.

basically, to describe my situation, i am currently studying at university of toronto first year studying science. Thus far, i am not really having a blast! even though the school is in the centre of everything i do not find it a bit benefiting!! and students here are very rude and pretentious, very disruptive, acting like they are the know it all in lecture rooms disrupting learning.
i live on residence, and i have noticed that many students aren’t here to learn! and they really disrupt other students by partying late, playing loud music etc etc…
i am not really used to this and really want to transfer. However my stats are not the greatest, i think the reason i was rejected last year was b/c of my mediocre SAT and high school grades and also my ECs looked scattered, i have been working on everything recently, i think i am a better candidate right now. however the transfer admission is really competitive…
also, i am undertaking a huge load of work, aside from taking 5 courses (30hrs/week of classes) and aside from that, i am doing other ECs, some that i especially love which help me get through stressful times totalling up to a lot of time. everyday i turn in at like 2am. i don’t know, but still i am barely scratching a B. please give me some advice on transfering to dartmouth and help correct some of my misconceptions about the school. i hope what i have wrote is somewhat understandable as it is 1:48am
thanks again
