The people here at Dartmouth are incredible. They are fun, spirited, passionate, and kind. No one is competitive, and everyone is always ready to give another student a helping hand. I feel like I already have a strong support system of friends that I can fall back on when I need it. Dartmouth has a community like no other.
Working in admissions and interviewing campus-dwellers for our 3D Magazine, I've always been curious about what made Dartmouth special for current students, deducing exactly what set it apart so that they chose to spend their next four years here.
To give you some insight, here are the types of questions I was asked by girls decked out in flair, including snake onesies, avocado leggings, cat ears, and glitter, glitter, glitter!
When you stop to think about it, we are constantly surrounded by images in our daily lives, including advertisements, social media, the internet, books/magazines/newspapers.
Getting outside at Dartmouth has always done wonders for my happiness, and this time was no exception.
I remember hearing the same expression over and over again when I was an upperclassman in high school: “There’s a lot more free time in college… you just need to learn how to manage it.”

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."

"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."

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."
