Enrolling Students
We are convinced that you'll thrive here and invite you to visit Dartmouth this month to see why. Members of the Dartmouth community are looking forward to showing you what makes Dartmouth special! From faculty members who welcome you to sit in on their classes, to students looking forward to sharing a meal with you, we all hope you'll take advantage of this time to see why you belong at Dartmouth.
We've put together some tips for making your journey to Hanover as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
Offered on April 20, Dimensions of Dartmouth is our signature admitted student program designed to give you a sneak peek into a day in the life as a Dartmouth student. Choose the events you'd like to attend and plan to arrive an hour before the 10:00 a.m. Welcome Event to have time to park and check in. Sit in on classes; enjoy a meal in '53 Commons; drop in for academic office hours designed especially for you; meet current students and Student Life staff at an open house. If you can stick around after 5:00 p.m., you'll have the opportunity to explore campus and meet more students at fun and interactive events that give you the inside scoop on student life. Let us show you all the reasons why you belong at Dartmouth!

Campus Hosts: When you come to campus for Dimensions, you'll have the opportunity to be matched with a current student as an overnight host. Your host can help you make a plan for how to experience the Dartmouth community first-hand. Sign up for Dimensions before Friday, April 10, to start the host-matching process.
If you are not able to attend Dimensions, you are welcome to visit campus on select days in April. Sit in on a class, enjoy a meal in the dining hall, and explore parts of campus that aren't on the tour. Take advantage of the time you spend on campus to see why you belong at Dartmouth! Learn more on our Plan Your Own Day page.
Virtual programs make it possible for everyone to experience Dartmouth. Throughout April, we'll offer a series of live, informational programs to support admitted students as they explore whether Dartmouth is the right fit. Each session will focus on a key topic—ranging from research opportunities and personalized career exploration to academic and wellness resources and student life—and will include time for real‑time questions.
Many questions are best answered by a current student and our students are ready with answers. Take a look at our Connect With A Student page and you'll see students from all over the world with various interests and majors who are involved in a wide variety of activities. If you're wondering what it was like moving to Hanover from a large city, how to decide what classes to take, or if there is time to keep doing all the things you love to do, our students can fill you in!
With these available-anytime options, you can explore Dartmouth from the comfort of wherever you are. Hear from our students, staff, and faculty about core features of the Dartmouth experience and then show them to your family and friends so they can get a good sense of what your life at Dartmouth will be like.
Not to worry! If you can't make it to Dimensions of Dartmouth, we welcome you to Plan Your Own Day on select days in April.
Additionally, consider taking advantage of our virtual programming and on-demand content for admitted students.
Bring a sleeping bag and what you think you'll need to be comfortable in a residence hall with the understanding that bedding is not provided and you may end up sleeping on a couch or on the floor. Showers will be available—bring your own toiletries and towel. Visit our Packing List for more suggestions.
The dress for all Dimensions activities is casual, so feel free to wear whatever you might wear to school. We recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes. Visit our Packing List for more suggestions.
The weather while you are visiting campus could vary from cool temperatures of 40-50 degrees to warm spring days of 60-70 degrees. Rain, sleet, snow, and sun are all possibilities in April.

In this post, I write about my experience choosing to attend Dartmouth, thousands of miles from where I grew up.
Why Dartmouth? I don't think it begins with the school—more so with who you want to be.

There has never been a single moment when I have not been proud to be a part of the wonderful community that comes with being a student here.
