| Full-time undergraduate program |
Dartmouth undergraduate housing is the best I've seen. The campus is
beautiful, facilities are kept very well, dining is quite good relative
to other colleges and decent relative to home-cooking. It is located in
the small town of Hanover, and there is next to no crime. There is some
crime, however, and Dartmouth has a good "Safety and Security" (S&S)
office, with S&S officers patrolling the campus round the clock (they're
there, though not oppressively so). A potential complaint is
that "there's nothing to do" if you're looking for city life. But
Boston is only 2.5 hours away, and Montreal is a popular get-away spot
for students. If you come to Dartmouth, though, realize that you're
coming to a less-than-urban environment. Still, given the small
population, there is quite a bit of variety around. Lots of good
restaurants, big-name stores (e.g. Sears, Walmart, Shaws, Borders), and
locally-owned shops. Otherwise, a classic small New England town.
