βš–οΈFit Profile

πŸ‘ Great Fit If You Are:

1

Tight-knit community lovers

if you want to be known by name in your classes and form lifelong friendships, Dartmouth offers unmatched closeness.

2

Nature-craving learners

if your ideal day includes seminar discussions in the morning and hiking or skiing in the afternoon, this is your place.

3

Balanced thinkers

if you want rigorous academics without losing social life or wellness, Dartmouth’s rhythm and D-Plan provide that blend.

4

Tradition-respecting students

if you appreciate history, rituals, and a campus with pride in its identity, Dartmouth has deep roots.

5

Leadership-inclined students

whether through Outdoor Club, Greek life, or student governance, you’ll find real chances to shape the community.

🚨 Not Ideal For:

1

Big city seekers

Hanover is beautiful but remote; if you thrive on urban life, constant events, or industry access, you may feel stuck.

2

Students craving anonymity

Dartmouth is small, and you will be seen

3

Radically progressive students

while open and thoughtful, Dartmouth leans more centrist than peers like Brown or Columbia.

4

Students who dislike tradition

if legacy culture, rituals, and old-school energy feel outdated to you, parts of Dartmouth may clash with your style.

5

Hyper-independent loners

community life is intense; if you prefer total detachment, it may feel socially claustrophobic.
