<p>Do most people live on campus? How strict are the RAs or administration with alcohol? Do lots of people get citations? Do students have to "hide" drinking in their rooms?</p>
<p>What would a transfer get for living? Suite style, double, single? Is there off campus housing too at Dartmouth?</p>
<p>I’ll try to answer your questions in points
-As off campus options are very limited most people do live on campus.</p>
<p>-Dartmouth doesn’t have RA’s. We have UGA’s (undergraduate advisors) on the floors, but they are not in place for discipline (I don’t think they even have the ability to give citations)</p>
<p>-Drinking, in general, occurs at the frats. However, room drinking does go on, and I don’t know of anyone getting in too much trouble from it, if any at all. (unless someone is stupid and endangers themselves)</p>
<p>-I think most transfers are put in nice doubles (possibly 2-room doubles) their first year. After that they would participate in the room-draw like every other non-first year student, and thus get to pick their own room when it comes their time.</p>
<p>-For off campus see first question, very limited.</p>
<p>Okay thanks. So like most people don’t get written up much? I just heard they are really strict at Dartmouth that’s all.</p>
<p>Also…is being in a frat necessary for going out and drinking?</p>
<p>Um … yeah, nothing’s gonna happen unless you’re a danger to yourself and others… don’t know where you got this “strict” idea.</p>
<p>and no, being in a frat is not necessary…</p>
<p>rightnotleft’s got it. I’ve never heard of anyone being “Written up” (again, not even sure if that exists here…) The only way you’ll get in trouble is if you do something bad enough to get Safety and Security called on you, and even then it probably won’t be bad. I also have no idea where the strict idea came from.</p>
<p>And actually our Greek system is open here, so it is not at all necessary to be a member to go hang out and play pong, etc at a frat.</p>
<p>I’ve heard of S&S checking on parties and following up after with people who host them, but they were def not the norm. Just don’t be tooo obnoxious and you’re fine.</p>
