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.
I partially spent my summer break as a volunteer in Brazil, and I learned so much from it.
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.

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.

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 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."

I love teaching at Dartmouth because of the interaction between teaching and research."
