<p>hey everyone.. i'm an international student from singapore who's gonna matriculate this fall (accepted 2 years back but deferred cos of national service) - just wish i'd known of this site earlier..! =) i'm planning to major in chemistry, just wondering how the sciences compare to the humanities at dartmouth.. i know dart's more "known" for it's strengths in the humanities rather than the sciences, any big loss?</p>
<p>another thing's the religious life at dart - could anyone help in this, like are there any churches around dartmouth or in hanover anyone knows about? </p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>Chrislim,</p>
<p>You might get some information on another thread on the board about religion.</p>
<p>However, I also intend to major in Chem (w/philosophy). I'd be equally interested to hear current D students opinion of the chem department.</p>
<p>One of my alumni interviewers was a chem major and graduated only two years ago. He seemed to absolutely love the department.</p>
<p>Churches of what denomination?</p>
<p>thanks scimmia..</p>
<p>wisconsinguy>> assemblies of god, charismatic.. i read briefly about some of the churches nearby dart that mainly cater to the students of the university, but besides what i read online i've got no clue how these churches are. you a student at dart? </p>
<p>fountainsiren, are you going to dartmouth this fall?</p>
<p>Yes, i can't wait. It's the only school i was really interested in and exactly what i wanted in a college.</p>
<p>There are a few churches in and around Hanover as well as the school chapel "Rollins Chapel" which does services for many religions.</p>
<p>The chemistry department is very good for undergrads, and there are many oppritunites to study other things with chemistry.</p>
<p>Dartmouth gets a bad rap for the sciences because they don't have the huge graduate research teams that win Nobel Prizes. However, the professors truly care about teaching - which is why they are at Dartmouth for the most part. I don't know much about the Physics department, but the classes I have taken in Chemistry and Biology have been great and the experiences I have had with them are better than alot of my friends at other places where the professors are often distant and find teaching to be a chore.</p>
