Dartmouth is located in a self-contained town, in Hanover, New Hampshire. The school is a private, not-for-profit institution. Degree levels at Dartmouth top out at the Doctoral degree.
One of the good things about the school is its wide range of programs leading to degrees. Students at Dartmouth often study mathematics, engineering, science, fine arts, liberal arts, and conservation and resource management.
The admissions department at the school does not accept all those who apply. In 2005, 83% of applicants were rejected at Dartmouth. Most students' verbal SAT scores were in the range of 670 to 770 in 2005. A quarter of students admitted in 2005 scored 780 or higher on the math SAT. It's not unusual for students to find their classmates include those from other parts of the country.
Students at the school benefit from the low student/teacher ratio. The school's tenure system is geared toward rewarding and keeping the most valuable professors. By paying its faculty better than most schools, the school tries to attract and retain a high quality teaching staff.
Dartmouth offers classes to 5,780 students (5,693 full-time equivalent).
The school serves primarily full-time students. Dartmouth has a residential or campus feel. Many students live in housing on or near campus. Students sports include formal participation in Ivy Group competitions.
