<p>It annoys me, to an extent, when people cite Dartmouth’s rural location as a reason not to attend for a few reasons.</p>
<p>First, you’re in college to study. As such, you’ll spend most of your time attending classes and hitting the books.</p>
<p>Second, you’ll (hopefully) be involved in extracurricular activities. Those will take up most of the remaining time of your day.</p>
<p>Third, at Dartmouth, you’re just a few hours from NYC, Boston, and Montreal. If you’re longing for the city life, hit one up for the weekend. </p>
<p>Even if you attend an urban university, you won’t be in the city every day. At Dartmouth, you have all the benefits of a rural campus – natural beauty, space, skiing, hiking, etc. – and some of the world’s best cities at the tip of your finger.</p>
