Dartmouth Housing

Colleges and Universities A-Z Dartmouth College

I seem to remember reading somewhere that Dartmouth is converting to a residential housing system. Has this change occurred yet? If so, how is the new system? Does it function as a true residential college system should with a strong sense of communities or does it exist as a meager attempt by the administration to weaken the greek system?

Also, on a more general note, what is the quality of the dorms like at Dartmouth? Are they nice and spacious, or do they reflect the age of the school and tend to not be a benefit of going to Dartmouth?

In case you are still interested, they have just instituted the housing communities now, in preparation for next year. Incoming students will be assigned to a housing community, while current students–the “founders”–were just notified of their communities. But it all starts next Fall. http://now.dartmouth.edu/2016/02/founders-day-students-receive-house-affiliations
