We want to make sure your travel to and from campus goes as smoothly as possible! Here are steps and important reminders that will help you prepare for your trip to Hanover, whether you are traveling by air, bus, car, or train. And please review the Travel Delays section at the bottom of the page so that you'll be prepared if you encounter any issues during your trip. 

 

Travel Delays? Don't Panic!
If your arrival to campus will be delayed, please call your family and then call us at (603) 646-3360.

Missed or Delayed Flight: If you miss a flight or encounter problems or delays that require you to reschedule your transportation, seek out airline staff members to assist you—they are there to help! Explain to staff that you are traveling alone, and don't be afraid to be assertive.

Missed Bus: If you are in Boston, it's okay! Your ticket is still valid for the next scheduled Dartmouth Coach bus departure. The last bus leaves Logan Airport at 8:50 p.m. and South Station at 9:30 p.m. daily. If you have missed the New York City bus, please call us at (603) 646-3360.

Missed Train: If you miss your train, please call us at (603) 646-3360.

Remember:

Call Home: Remember to call home, especially if any problems or delays occur while you are traveling. Your family will appreciate an update about your trip and your well-being.
Check Your Email: Watch your email—if there are any programming changes or travel updates, we will email you.
Pack for the Weather: Warm and likely humid weather is predicted in Hanover during Dartmouth Bound. While many of the spaces we'll utilize during the day will be air-conditioned, some spaces, including your residence hall, may not be. Please bring clothing you'll be comfortable in.
