<p>SoCal middle class parent of a Frosh here…</p>
<p>One of the big things that turned son off of that school in CT was the obvious arrogance of the tour guide, altho she tried hard to sound just like regular people. He called the other day to say that he FINALLY met an arrogant student at Dartmouth – he was shocked that one got thru the admissions gauntlet. LOL</p>
<p>No need for a car; I don’t expect that he’ll ever have a car on campus, unless we win the lotto. Great bus service to Boston, but most kids just hang on campus bcos there is so much to do in Hanover.</p>
<p>Like sybbie’s D, my Son spends very little money at school, altho he used up his laundry budget buying stuff at Winter Carnival – stuff for his little sister, he claims. But, he’s a guy, so he can wait till he comes home to wash. :D</p>
<p>Activities are extremely inexpensive – $5 for first-rate theater performances, for example.</p>
