<p>There is no such thing as a “full ride” at Dartmouth. Every student is expected a to make a student contribution from summer work and it is part of the financial aid package, which increases every year. </p>
<p>Every student is expected to have health insurance. If you do not have adequate health insurance, you must purchase it. Which they may fund a portion of the health insurance, you are billed for the balance. If you do not have the money, you must take a loan. If you do not meet the student contibution, the school does not increase your financial aid package.</p>
<p>Every student is expected to purchase textbooks for their courses. if you do not have the $$, they do not magically give you the money. Please do not expect that you will come to Dartmouth and they will pay for everything, because that will not happen.</p>
