My sentiments with regards to Dartmouth College are ambivalent to say the least. However, I am do regret my decision to attend the college. I have a lot to say and hope I help someone with this rant.

I first found out about Dartmouth through a research paper I wrote for Ap US History in my junior year of high school. I didn't think anything of it until they sent me an invitation to visit the school over the summer. I only went because it was free. Basically it was a program to sell Dartmouth to bright students who may not have been considering it.

Out of the 5 colleges (yes only 5) to which I applied I got accepted to Carnegie Mellon, Dartmouth, and the CUNY Honors program at Queens. Ultimately I chose Dartmouth because most of the people I asked for advice said the expense would pay off. Also as a nerdy, black, low SES student I had the schema that attending an Ivy was the ultimate accomplishment. Add to that the need to escape a lonely and hostile environment and you have a mistake in the making!

I arrived at Dartmouth believing that my race and SES would not affect (at least not negatively) my experiences at D (in high school most of my friends were white or Asian, not by choice though). I could not have been more wrong. As a student on financial aid I had to do work study to make ends meet. See D's financial aid requires that you earn money even during your leave term. The amount you are required to earn for example during the summer before your matriculation is the amount of money you report in your savings regardless of how long it actually took you to earn that money.
