Yes, I love Dartmouth. I may be biased, but my three years here so far have been an incredible time of growth, discovery and learning. I will always be thankful for the friends that I have made here and the experiences that we have had together. I love Dartmouth for so many reasons.
Bordering the Connecticut River and amidst the rolling mountains of the north-east, Hanover is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been...
So far, each day has had its own instantaneous excursions, everything from friends calling to swim in the river to brief trips off exploring in the woods.
Outdoor activities, which peak in the summer, are one of the greatest ways to make new friends in a fun way.
The second I saw that email I had made up my mind that I was going up that mountain.
For the summer, a cohort of 10 students received the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reside and work in the Bay Area, and I’m so excited to be one of them.
The D-Plan describes how you spend each term at Dartmouth: on, off, abroad... And it can be quite challenging, especially for international students. Luckily, I am here to explain it all just for you!
This time around, it was all about family; this weekend, the College invited all sophomore students to bring up their parents and siblings for a couple days, hosting all different kinds of programming and events.
Here are a few things I did over my “summer break” before returning for school, and one thing I wished I had done:
Hey! My name is Jonathan, I am a ’20 (meaning I graduate next year) from Rockaway Park, New York, and I haven’t had a real term “away” from Dartmouth yet!
Percent of demonstrated financial need met, no matter who you are or where you're from.
How Financial Aid WorksFor Dartmouth professors, teaching is a passion, a calling, a way of life. Mentorship is instinctive, one of the most rewarding aspects of their scholarship. Dartmouth faculty members are also pioneering researchers and influential thought-leaders. Their work with students helps them advance the frontier of knowledge and helps students advance their careers. Dartmouth classrooms are interactive, collaborative, discussion-based environments.
Areas of StudyScholars Who Teach
Professor of History and Native American Studies
"I’ve spent most of my life working on Native American history because ultimately it means rethinking the history of this continent. There’s no better place to do it than a college with its own Indian history, with an ongoing commitment to Native education and Native American studies, and with Native students in all my classes."

Associate Professor of Asian and Middle Eastern Languages and Literatures
"As the world becomes smaller, our classrooms expand. One of the main goals of a liberal arts education is to prepare our undergraduates to welcome the various challenges they will face in our ever-shrinking world, inhabited by racially, culturally, linguistically different peoples."

"I am passionate about my artistic practice because it allows me additional ways of existing in the world. I enjoy teaching simply because I am exposed to the endlessly diverse minds of students. All students are unique and have something to teach."

Associate Professor of Earth Sciences
"In the classroom, I strive to let my enthusiasm for science, the Earth, and the environment guide my teaching. It’s amazing to work with such bright and engaged students every day. My favorite moments are when a student tells me, “I took this class for a distributive requirement—I never thought I would love Earth science!"

Associate Professor of Computer Science
"I see my role in teaching and mentoring students as someone who opens the door to an area, shows them the wonders, excites them, and then guides them through their self-driven exploration in the area. Motivation and passion are the best teacher, so I strive to motivate students by exposing them to the latest research and influential ideas in the field."

Assistant Professor of History
"I try to give students not only historical knowledge and awareness, but also the tools to carefully evaluate evidence and arguments, to look beyond obvious answers, and to reflect fairly and seriously on the legacies of U.S. foreign policy for the contemporary world. I love teaching at Dartmouth because of the interaction between teaching and research."
