Region/Lifestyle

Dartmouth College is located in Hanover, New Hampshire, a small New England town on the Connecticut River between the White Mountains of New Hampshire and the Green Mountains of Vermont. Hanover is about 2 hours by car from Boston and 3 1/2 hours from Montreal.

Combining the advantages of a rural setting with the resources of an Ivy League college, Dartmouth Athletics and Recreation offers a spectacular array of outdoor activities (including alpine and nordic skiing, rock-climbing, hiking, canoeing, sailing, and riding). The casual lifestyle and access to the outdoors often leads Institute students to organize informal events from softball games to picnics, running events, skiing and snowboarding.

There is also a varied and active cultural life centered around the Hopkins Center for the Creative and Performing Arts. Each year the Hopkins Center sponsors an active film society, two full concert series, dramatic productions, art shows and other events. The Hopkins Center also offers special workshops open to faculty and students for woodworking, sculpture, painting and various other art and craft forms.

 

The Dartmouth campus is just a short walk from the beautiful Connecticut River. Wide opportunities for four-season outdoor activities in a lovely, clean, natural environment abound in the region.
