Hi, there, I know I’m a little late to the party, but I’m a Dartmouth '20 and thought I could give you some insight into life here that might help you decide whether or not you want to submit an application.
What drew me to Dartmouth (and reassured me that it was right for me after I got here) were the people. The professors are always willing to interact with Freshmen. All of mine are eclectic, lovable characters who share their passion with the class on a daily basis. The kids in my classes are opinionated and committed to seeing the issues they care about resolved.
There are, as at any college, dorm parties, hook-ups, etc., but it’s not as if that’s the campus culture. I feel accepted for who I am, and I’m not really into that sort of thing.
