I am the parent of one of those “there is NYC and every where else kids” and I would have bet a $1million that there would be no way she would ever attend no less love a school in rural NH.

Guess what? I would have been out of $1 million because she has never given it a second though or has looked back for a moment. Her mindset is that NYC is always going to be here but college is 4 years (and she really wanted grass under her feet) and she did not want her entire educational experience to take place in manhattan.

Hanover is not the most bustling town that you will ever come across but I also think that the location is what helps to contribute to the great sense of cohesiveness and community that permeates through dartmouth. It is a wonderful change of pace and one of the safest campuses in the country.

Going into “town” on main street as Chris said there is a Borders, CVS, Gap, shops and boutiques, Lou’s is always packed for breakfast on the weekend. D and friends have dinner at molly’s/ murphy’s. There is something going on every night. She has a wide variety of friends both greek and non-greek.

Last week the school sold tickets for a direct bus from campus to NYC and it sold out like they were free tickets.

If you haven’t been there, take a visit and decide if hanover is where you want to be.
