Does this sound like a Dartmouth personality

If you haven’t seen the Dartmouth By Air video, check it out [YouTube - Dartmouth By Air](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GIXESEjfqo) It gives you a sense of the area around campus. There really are many, many outdoor opportunities for students if they’re interested. And there is real wilderness in the Second College Grant, a pretty amazing place for those who get up there.

My son was interested in Dartmouth in part because of the outdoor opportunities and the New England environment. He has been very happy with the DOC activities he’s participating in as well. If you haven’t spent time on their website, I’d recommend you take a look: [Dartmouth Outing Club](Dartmouth Outdoors)

The New England environment is very different from what you see in Utah, and your son might find it very interesting for a few years. And, of course, the education is great as well.

Good luck to you and your son in the exciting, stressful process ahead!
