Rating 3.87 out of 5 737 reviews
I am a transfer student athlete and am planning to attend Dartmouth in the fall. What I loved on my visit was the family atmosphere amongst the faculty and the close relationships they had with their students. I believe that it is important to put an emphasis on undergraduate education and Dartmouth does that the best in comparison to any other school in the nation. From an athletic standpoint I feel like Dartmouth has all the tools and facilities to help me achieve my athletic goals. Coming from an institution that gives athletic scholarships, Ivy leagues do not have that availability. I felt like the experiences and relationships that I would build would make it worth it to apply for scholarships online. Thank you!
As a Dartmouth student, I've been immersed in a transformative academic environment. The close-knit community fosters meaningful interactions with professors and peers. Experiential learning opportunities have allowed me to apply classroom knowledge in real-world settings. The campus seamlessly blends tradition with innovation, offering top-notch facilities. Beyond academics, a diverse range of student organizations and clubs enrich personal growth. The mentorship of dedicated professors has been invaluable. Dartmouth has not only provided an exceptional education but instilled a lifelong commitment to intellectual curiosity and positive impact. This experience will shape both my career and outlook on life.
Dartmouth is a challenging and prestigious institution. I cannot speak for all the departments, but both Biology and Environmental Studies are full of esteemed faculty and provide opportunities for challenging coursework that will prepare you for a career in these fields. I was not always the biggest fan of the faculty, many of the older professors who were tenured clearly cared little for their students and did not prioritize our learning or knowledge retention. The student body is mainly composed of people from wealthy or otherwise privileged backgrounds, so it was quite a culture shock to someone coming from a background of lower socioeconomic status, and I found many students could be naïve or ignorant at times. But Dartmouth students are passionate about what they do and will fight desperately for causes they believe in. And Dartmouth supplies many opportunities and resources that you won't find at another institution due to its prestige and resources.
