<p>I wouldn’t worry about this at all, I think Dartmouth actually is a place where wealth is played down. The “wealth” oriented groups exist, as they do on any campus, but in my opinion Dartmouth is far better at this than the other Ivies (aka Princeton and Harvard). I lived in a senior apt where on of my friends came from a under 20K household, while another’s dad was the CEO of a company and had multiple houses. You would never know it. Wealth, at least in my social circles, just wasn’t important at all. </p>
<p>I think one reason for this is while in Hanover its not as if you spend much money. Another is people at Dartmouth, in my experience, just don’t flaunt things like this. Its just not the culture. My dad actually was willing to give me his Acura to take to school and I insisted on taking our old honda because I didn’t want to be seen as flaunting my car.</p>
