Dartmouth has been the most unfamiliar college to me despite that it shares the prestiege of being an ‘ivy’.
The only information I know is that Dartmouth has a very small class.
<p>It also has a quarter system--so you spend some summers on campus but take a different quarter off campus. It is also the most rural isolated Ivy with the best outdoors opportunities. Visit their website-plenty of info there.</p>
<p>Dartmouth College was founded in 1769; it's located in Hanover, New Hampshire. It's well-known for its undergradute focus, moreso than its graduate programs. As you mentioned before, Dartmouth has the smallest enrollment among the Ivy League universities at 5,700 students. Dartmouth College has the oldest college newspaper in the country, The Dartmouth. Famous alumni of Dartmouth College include: Daniel Webster, Robert Frost, Salmon P. Chase, Nelson Rockefeller, and Fred Rogers.</p>
<p>hey...check out the dartmouth board...esp pre d-day...some cool folks were on there.</p>
<p>It's small... in the middle of nowhere... cold... outdoorsy... lots of partying.. great quarter system ("the D-plan")... top knotch academics. I was considering Dartmouth (I was accepted), but have since crossed it off the list in my narrowing process.</p>
<p>Dartmouth is simply one of the handful of best undergrad experiences on the planet. Of the ivies, it has the greatest focus on undergrads and acts more like a LAC. All classes are taught by profs.</p>
<p>The campus, IMO, is one of the most beautiful. Truly New England brick and ivy bucolic. It is know as a fun school and a very tightly knit community.</p>
<p>You have to be there...no one will be able to explain it on a message board.</p>
<p>IMHO, the finest undergrad college in America. </p>
<p>Check out the Dartmouth forum, read Fiske, Princeton Review, etc.</p>
<p>sorry but I often see IMO or IMHO on this board. what does it stand for?</p>
<p>imo - in my opinion. imho - in my humble opinion.</p>
<p>dartmouth rocks</p>
<p>Dartmouth is easily the most tightknit, community oriented Ivy. The undergraduate population is about 4300 students. Its acadmic focus on undergrads is awesome, as are its study abroad opportunities. You spend one summer (after sophomore year) on campus, which is a great experience, and compensate by doing research/ internship one winter (cool because its easy to get top internships).</p>
<p>so its much more undergrad focus and isnt very well-known for its grad rite?</p>
<p>is this why Dartmouth is one of the least known ivies?</p>
<p>Dartmouth class of 1976. Best of the Ivies. My average class was 10 or less in size. Knew all of my professors and they knew me. Tuck School of Business is oldest in country - always ranked in top five or better. Dartmouth Medical School. Thayer School of Engineering. All top-notch. Thank G-d no law school. Don't we have too many already?</p>
<p>and Dartmonth doesnt have a undergrad business school, so if you want business, Wharton/Ross/Sloan/McIntire/Haas are for u.</p>
<p>unless you want to work for 5 years and go to its grad. business school.</p>
<p>Dart is probably the least well-known for a lot of reasons besides no grad school (though it does have professional schools). Definetely check out the dart board.</p>
