Can anyone tell me more about Dartmouth?

<p>hello, everyone!! I am international student.
I<code>ve checked on the web many US schools and I read many things about the Ivies. Schools like Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia are known here too but I don</code>t know many things about the others. Could anyone tell me more about Darmouth? Is it famous just because it<code>s part of the Ivy League( of which I read that it was originally set up as a sports league) or from the academic point of view it</code>s also very strong and the courses are very rigourous. Are there famous professors like in the other Ivies? Can you do good research there? Has it got good departments in science and mathematics? Could you tell me some alumni? Does it offer doctorate degrees? has it got a good graduate school?
Thank you:)</p>

<p>Dartmouth is listed in the U.S. News & World report as offering the best undergraduate education of any school in the Ivy League. This means that undergraduate students receive phenomenal attention and exemplary instruction. No teaching assistants like you will see in other, larger Ivy League schools.
Dartmouth alums are legendary in their allegiance and love for the school. They “give back” by helping Dartmouth graduates procure jobs. I’m not familiar with the math and sciences at Dartmouth, so I can’t help you there, but I do think since Dartmouth is Ivy League, the level will be quite high. (but maybe higher at MIT).</p>

<p>Good luck if you apply to Dartmouth!</p>

<p>Well we have the best undergraduate teaching in the country… so the academics are pretty strong. There are doctoral candidates at Dartmouth, but its somewhere you come for an undergrad degree (or business school or med school), not a graduate degree. Do we have as many nobel laureates as other schools, no? Are the professors we have way more invested in making sure you actually get a kick ass education? yeah. Math and science are good here, especially pre-med, although I would say government, economics, and history are the big three, as well as the language program. I’m not a science person myself, but a lot of Dartmouth students take organic chemistry at Harvard and then transfer the credit because orgo at Harvard is less intense (its two terms of hell here), so that attests to the strength of the chem department. You can definitely do amazing research here, because there aren’t as many grad students, where there are any at all, so its not like you’re competing with them for research. Dartmouth is a college rather than a university; though it does have a med school ,engineering school, and business school and though it does grant graduate degrees in the arts and sciences, its strength is undergraduate. And Dartmouth alums are famous for their commitment to the school after graduation, and they are all over wall street and washington.</p>
