Although Dartmouth has all of the resources of a university, its main focus is on its undergraduate students, not graduate students. At Dartmouth, college students have the opportunity to engage in research with professors from as early as their freshman year. Through programs like WISP (Women in Science Project) and the Presidential Scholars program (honors research program for juniors in the top 40% of their class), college students are able to participate in research with the professors of their choice. This is a great way for students to gain out of classroom experience in topics of interest to them.
2) Dartmouth Alumni
Dartmouth alumni truly love their alma mater. As a result, alumni constantly give back to the college in numerous ways and current undergraduates benefit from their generosity. Whether alumni are donating their time as career mentors through the alumni database at the career services office or throwing 50 year class reunions during big weekends like homecoming, current undergraduates have the ability to meet and learn a lot from the amazing alumni who came before them on a regular basis.
3) Location
Dartmouth's location offers students the opportunity to have a great college experience. Since the school is not located in a city, college life is truly focused on the campus. Students bond as a community and really get to know each other in a way that's not possible at a lot of other schools.
