Hanover is a great place to live if you like a small town, nature and overall quiet town.
The people here are professionals; doctors, professors mostly. Most people aren’t very friendly. Everyone stays to themselves. The Dartmouth students are quiet for a college town. The Appalachian Trail is right here as well, it’s fun to meet the hikers.
There’s not much to do. There’s nice, expensive stores, co-op, one luxury gym, good restaurants and some culture. Dartmouth hospital is a really nice hospital.
There’s no real night life, there’s a new bar/restaurant/event center and a sports bar. Dartmouth does have some events at night but that’s about it.
From 7-7 there is a bus, but only on week days.
If you want a safe, “upscale” environment, that’s close to Dartmouth university/hospital this is the ideal location.

Safe, good schools, upper middle class type of town. The people aren’t very friendly, pertinacious. I would call it a moderate town in terms of politics. Educated, partly due to Dartmouth, but not a college town. Night life is non existent. Entertainment is sparse. There’s a tiny movie theatre and if your more cultured the university has the Hopkins Art Center. There’s also a small art museum on campus.
If your looking for concerts, restaurants, even just bowling you’ll have to drive half an hour. Hanover does have a bus, free, but it only runs from Monday - Friday, 7-7. You have to have a car to get around. Uber/Lyft are almost non existent.
The town of Lebanon, town next door, has stores and restaurants that are much more affordable. White River Junction is 10 minutes away. Much more liberal and eccentric.
If you have a family, are associated with Dartmouth and/or enjoy the outdoors, bougie and rural lifestyle this would an be ideal town.

Hanover is an affluent town. People are privileged to live here. This can be an issue in high school with some snobbiness. Hanover High School has a history of bullying. That being said, it is a very good education and has a great sports program. If you are wealthy or athletic, you will fit in at the high school.
There are a lot of activities in Hanover, many of which are put on by Dartmouth College. Main street is busy with shops and restaurants. There is not a lot of crime and what little there is, seems to be centered around the college.
