There can't be a safer, more beautiful top bschool anywhere. People
don't lock doors. You can walk aroudn anywhere in the middle of the
night. The biggest risk might be encountering a touchy moose if you
ventured a bit north.
Single first years live on campus in dorms. To many outsiders, this
seems odd or even juvenile. It's not. It's a big part of why the
classes are so closeknit. And, when winter sets in, being able to walk
between buildings in the morning without goign outside is much
appreicated. The dorms themselves are fine - nothing exceptional but
wholly adequate and, again, not realy the point since first years won't
spend much time there. Nearly everyone who goes to Tuck thinks the
dorms are ridiculous UNTIL they get there and love it.
Second year, most students share wonderful houses in Vermont or NH.
Lots of "Tuck houses" that get passed down from year to year - converted
barns, big mansions. Low rents and beautiful properties make for very
memorable living experiences. Live in Norwich (VT - across the river)
second year - it's the best experience that only 30 or 40% of the
typical class figures out in time. The Dartmouth campus is beautiful -
"what college should look like," as it's often described. Stunning New
England, Ivy League architecture and landscaping.
The business school itself has seen major investments in the past 5
years - facilities are fully on par with any other program. Busines
school dining hall/food, interview/career planning areas,
classrooms/study rooms and technology (the entire place is wired) are
absolutely top notch. Stylistically, the infrastructure is like the
culture - understated, comfortable yet elegant and leading edge in every
way. Married students live off campus in Sachem Village. Typically 15-
25% of a class will be married and those students will sometimes report
feeling a bit removed from the Tuck experience as a result -
particularly in first year but that's when most relationships form. The
married students typically align with each other for the most part since
the life stages are different than the single students living on campus.
