Dartmouth College Top Questions

There's usually too many things to do and not enough time to do it.

Pressure to drink to be social.

The worst thing about Dartmouth is that courses are only offered at one time in a given term and not at all some terms. This make is hard to take all of the classes one wants.

The financial aid provided is inadequate to support many students to attend this school. I believe that when I graduate I will definitely be in debt, but the education is of the highest quality.

I can't think of anything.

Lack of a dating sceen. I really am quite romantically lonely.

The food is overpriced and a lot of it is really heavy. It's better than a lot of schools, but that doesn't mean it's very good, and the food payment system is not very effective.

Probably counseling on what courses you should take and how you should take them. The prospectus is only set up with a two year forward horizon, meaning that you can't plan everything right away, which made taking all the classes I wanted to difficult.

The students and faculty are fabulous, but I feel the administration is sometimes a little hard to get around. They, of course, value Dartmouth as an institution of higher learning, but also as a business, which sometimes makes it difficult for the rest of us to get things done.

The dorms are nice - good sized rooms, etc, but there are very few suite-like dorms on campus. I didn't want to live off-campus, so I could only live with 2 other people on campus. I would have prefered more 4-5 people apartment-style dorms
