Amazing place!

It's great to be at Dartmouth College

I'm a current graduate student at the Thayer Engineering school at Dartmouth- so glad I chose this school! my advisor never says 'no' and the professors have all been outstanding! The classes are small enough that everyone really gets to know each other, as well as the professors. Best place in the world to be a grad student!

Dartmouth is heaven. Classes inspiring and always something to do- movies, musicals, art shows. Best teachers. Can't say how great this place is. Love it.

Great location if you like nature, I absolutely love the DOC trips and River Trail near campus. Collaborative environment, as profs will actively encourage it, and chill. As a small school with a constantly shifting population(bc D-Plan) it really has the easily-reachable opportunities to get involved with anything. Only bad thing is greek life

This is not the most Graduate Student friendly campus out there. We're left out of a lot and it can be difficult to integrate into campus life. Grad students are ripped off in terms of North Park housing and it is much cheaper to live off campus. But it is also more difficult to find housing off campus.

Dartmouth is a school meant to turn out corporate lawyers, investment bankers and corporate middle managers. It is not a school that turns out people who make much of a difference in the world - have you ever heard of anybody famous or important that went to Dartmouth?
