<p>Freshmen are not allowed to have a car on campus. For everyone else, I believe you just need a permit.</p>
<p>Can you tell me whether the people in Hanover like the presence of Dartmouth students? I know a couple schools where the residents could not stand students from nearby schools.</p>
<p>I have yet to meet a townie who did not enjoy the benefits the College provides to the townspeople, or the presence of the ~4K undergrads.</p>
<p>Yeah, rightnotleft--ironically, some of the people currently getting into a petty spat over the new dining hall and bio buildings are the same people who attend so many of the lectures, concerts, and events that Dartmouth has to offer.</p>
<p>The orient for chinese, a really good thai place, two indian restaurants, Murphy's/Molly's/Canoe Club (general fancy restaurant but still affordable, great pasta etc), but remember that all of this is within the general campus. It's literally right next to the student center and down the street.</p>
<p>If you wanted to go shopping, you can definitely go to West Leb, which is about a 10 min bus ride. And.. there's pretty much everything there, malls, small stores, movie theaters, etc.</p>
<p>Hanover is an ideal college town. Very welcoming to Dartmouth students. In fact, Hanover seem very integrated with Dartmouth (or vice versa, depending on our perspective). I found it to be very safe. Students were walking around at night, going to pizza places, pubs and obother places). The people in Hanover were very very nice, friendly and just really comfortable to be around. It was much friendlier than your typical New England town. Most stores and restaurants are walking distance to college. Really terrific town, which extends students' communitiy beyond the campus. I wish I visited during the winter so that I can experience how cold it gets. But spring in Hanover was just gorgeous.</p>
