My Top 3:

1. The Food - It goes unsaid that Dartmouth has one of the best dining options! We have at least three different locations where you can find food at at those three different locations we have at least five different dining options you can choose from. Also, you can find something to eat on campus until 2 am, which is great if you are a night owl like me. There is always a vegetarian option available. Also, we have a sushi chef come on campus to Collis Late Night to make fresh sushi. My favorite meal at Dartmouth was during freshmen orientation, they provide lobster dinners and it was great seeing everyone get down and dirty. My second favorite is Homeplate brunch, where they serve anything from pancakes to french toast, eggs and potatoes. You also have the option of making your own waffle, which I do every week.

2. The Opportunities - Every school says this, but I do think Dartmouth gives you endless opportunities to choose from. Whether its interning at a non-profit internship or building houses in Argentina, Dartmouth will provide you with money so that you can not have any financial burden on your shoulders. Additionally, they will help you prepare your resume and cover letters free of charge. Because of Dartmouth's strong alumni network, you can find someone who is working in the same field that you would like to work in and get your foot in the door. Dartmouth attracts a lot of the top business to our career fairs, and so if you are looking to meet someone who works at Teach for America or Goldman Sachs, they will come to you. Dartmouth sets you up to achieve great things because they believe in providing a well rounded experience to all their students. We don't just study in the classroom, we also volunteer in different organizations, or sing at different events, or dance at nursing homes, or travel cross country on a bus running on vegetable oil. Dartmouth provides its students with endless opportunities.

3. The People - This is the third time it is being said but that's how true it is! The people you meet here are incredible. I constantly stay up till 3 in the morning talking to my peers, finding out how they ended up in Hanover and what they are planning on doing after. One of my friends has already mapped out a 10 year plan of how he is going to become a chief operating officer of a hospital while my other friend is thinking about going into architecture. Everyone is nice and friendly and I can't believe how many times I've heard "you can do your own thing here, and no one will judge you" at Dartmouth. If you are looking for a cool, laid back and friendly gatmosphere, full of people who are ambitious but not cutthroat, Dartmouth is the place for you!
