After attending an open house, I fell in love with Professor Deanne Harper and her topic of Choice, 'Pursuing Happiness.' And I could not have made a better choice.

Autumn is electric at Dartmouth
Fall at Dartmouth
Only in autumn. Students share what makes fall on this campus so vibrant, so rejuvenating, so absolutely Dartmouth.
During First-Year Trips last year, all of us '21s received shirts inscribed with "Welcome Home" as our first piece of Dartmouth memorabilia; it never occured to me that Dartmouth would actually become my "home."

Admist the incredible adventure that is studying abroad, it is sometimes hard to remember that I still am taking a full course load.

We talk a lot about how hard it is on us, transitioning into college. New friends, new routine, new activities. What we don’t really talk about is our parents' side of this.

Campus in Fall
Fall kicks off the school year and sports are back in full swing. From an early morning row on the Connecticut River to a late evening practice on the field hockey turf, students are out and exploring a variety of athletic opportunities.
Connect to nature. Connect to the world. At Dartmouth, you can do both. With 237 acres, there's plenty here to explore, but as the smallest Ivy League school, the term most frequently used for our community is 'close knit.'
Fall Traditions
Dartmouth Night & Homecoming
It all started in 1895, and the campus has upped the wattage ever since. Students and alumni come together to celebrate the glories of autumn, march in the annual parade, and celebrate in the glow of a dramatic bonfire on the Green. Dartmouth is also home to many cherished traditions, including Dartmouth Night and Homecoming, when alumni return to their alma mater and, along with current students, take part in a parade and bonfire, the latter dating back to 1888.

In October the community celebrates Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights. In addition to lighting 5000 lamps on the Green, the celebration includes a Lakshmi puja, cultural performances, and an Indian vegetarian dinner.
Food Day at Dartmouth celebrates healthy and affordable food that's produced with care for the environment, and the people who grow, harvest, and serve it. Apple picking, pumpkin carving, movie screenings, and discussions with people like author Michael Pollan are all part of the event.
The Robert Frost collection at Dartmouth is one of the largest and most important collections of Frost's work, including printed materials, manuscripts and letters, photographs, and audio resources.
