Honestly, I haven't met many people at Dartmouth who wouldn't find some sort of niche or group to fit in with here. The one caveat of Dartmouth is that it is rather isolated. Coming from a city myself, it was definitely a big change, and while I"ve absolutely loved the change of pace from the city, people who are incredibly invested in the arts, museums, and the cultural centers found in cities may have a hard time adjusting to the outdoorsy rural setting of the college.
thomas
Someone who might have trouble adjusting to such a small environment.
Delia
Someone who feels most comfortable in diverse populations and needs to escape academic atmospheres might have trouble at Dartmouth; there isn't a lot to do outside of the campus and Greek life is limited.
Masha
likes the outdoors, does well academically, and likes to be in a small community.
Emily
The students at Dartmouth tend to be incredibly passionate, focused, engaged, and in love with everything they do (and they do a lot). Anyone who comes here and slacks off is missing out on some of the most incredible experiences of their lives.
Garrett
Those that love cities and hate winters. Also thoughs that won't be able to work on their skills if they realize they need to be more productive (they take too long to do work...the pace is quick with trimesters). Also, people who would hate trimesters. This makes keeping in touch with highschool friends a bit harder.
nick
A person who is lazy, doesn't like to study hard, or a person that likes the city life (good shows, great restaurants) should not attend.
Kathleen
Someone who is engaged with their classes because they're interested, not just to get good grades. Someone who works hard in their classes but isn't ruthlessly competitive. Someone who is interested in other cultures, experiences and viewpoints, and willing to explore and question. Someone who is friendly, relaxed, and engaging.
Taylor
I person who doesn't like small cities, small class sizes, and a small campus
Meredith
Somebody who needs lots of cultural/entertainment things around. There really isn't that much going on in Hanover - a Walmart is 15 minutes away. As a result, the social scene is nearly exclusively Greek, and revolves heavily around binge drinking. Every night "out" consists of of either playing pong or watching and waiting for your turn to play pong in a frat basement.
