<p>The college does not run buses to Boston & NYC. Dartmouth Coach (a private business) does so. The college definitely has strong study abroad programs – maybe the best in the country. But, “severe” and “outdated” buildings? Dude/Mom, have you ever been to New England? I call that charm. Sparse? It’s a very compact campus. There is a real movie theater. There are many real restaurants. It’s a beautiful town. </p>
