Read Hundreds of Quotes from Dartmouth College Students

Read samples from the Dartmouth College guide below:

Academics

Freshman advisors are usually worthless, but you can wander into any department to get advice.”

Diversity

“Total conjecture on my part, but I think Dartmouth’s failure to attract the super-brilliant kids that go to Yale and Harvard prevent the school from being as socioeconomically and ideologically diverse as it could be. That being said, everybody’s friendly...”

Guys & Girls

“Overall, I would say it’s a pretty decent-looking student body.”

Students also report a sizable international population on...

Guys & Girls

Don’t drop that high school sweetheart just yet, but Dartmouth students seem to think they look all right. The disparity between guys and girls is very real, although recent female classes are quickly closing the gap, regardless of whether or not the Dartmouth Beautification Project actually exists. Hookups—drunken or otherwise—dominate a virtually nonexistent dating scene. Most students are able to locate a hottie or two, though sometimes a pair of beer goggles
is required.

While Ivy Leaguers are known...

Athletics

Very few students watch Dartmouth sporting events religiously, but don’t let that fool you into thinking they can’t distinguish between football and fútbol. This small school supports an amazing number of NCAA teams, meaning that almost a full half of Dartmouth students are varsity athletes. While basketball and football haven’t fielded dominant teams for years, winter hockey games at Leverone Field House are usually a favorite.

There is sometimes a divide between athletes and their egghead peers, but all...
