I'm absolutely obsessed with Dartmouth, and have been since day 1, though it's certainly not the place for everyone. With 10-week terms, Dartmouth is incredibly fast-paced, especially since the majority of students are engaged in a number of extracurriculars as well. Stemming from all-male roots (Dartmouth was the last Ivey to go co-ed, in 1972) with fraternities dominating the social scene, there is a distinctly male-dominated feeling on campus, despite the existence of a number of sororities as well. (Only 3 of the 7 sororities are allowed to host parties, while all 13 fraternities are able to)Beyond that, however, Dartmouth is an amazing and stimulating environment, where the majority of the student population is understated yet very accomplished. Winters are cold, and Hanover is not exactly a thriving metropolis, but if you are willing to take advantage of all the outdoor activities associated with being in rural New Hampshire then it's not half bad. I love Dartmouth, and am confident that it was the right choice for me, but if you need the stimulation of an urban environment or have an aversion to greek life, then it might not be the school for you.
