Private Ivy League university in chilly Hanover, NH. Dartmouth offers a broad liberal arts education, serving as a feeder school to many prestigious grad schools. Dartmouth tends to attract smart, white, preppy, Conservatives or smart, white, crunchy, outdoorsy kids who just want to go skiing and drink beer. The unique D-Plan is both a bonus and a bummer- while it does let students take terms off to travel and enjoy excellent internships and jobs, people are always coming and going, making it difficult to see your base of friends on a regular basis.
Characterized by fiercely loyal alumni and a powerful Greek system, the Dartmouth undergraduate community is particularly strong- with movies such as "Animal House" based on Dartmouth undergraduate life. Although outdoor sports like skiing and hiking tend to be preferred more than basketball or soccer, Dartmouth students are generally pretty fit.
Notable parts of a Dartmouth education include "X" term (all sophomores are required to spend sophomore summer on campus), the Winter Carnival, Green Key, and the PE requirement. Famous alumni include Dr. Seuss, Robert Frost, Nelson Rockefeller, and Daniel Webster.

Get the Richmond College mug.Related Words
(noun) An evil government conspiracy created by corporate America to test all students "equally" through standards, when really they are creating a social hierarchy between rich kids who can afford tutors and poor kids who cannot. Though deemed a non-profit organization, they use much of the money from their "tests" to eat $1000 plates New York City. They hire evil masterminds to create tests devoted to ruining high schoolers lives by asking them questions on AP tests not pertaining to anything they have learned that year, or for that matter what pertains to doing well in college. They do not grade their supposed tests, and instead give rich kids the better scores allowing rich america to keep going to Ivy League schools, and the poor kids to community colleges. The rest of us receive scores by which The college board hires a room full of monkeys to throw darts at a dart board, and whatever numbers they hit are the scores you receive in the mail.

Get the The College Board mug.A place where you go to escape the real world, most likely out of fear. Your first 2 years of college is just a dignified boarding school where you take more classes you can take in high school, then you finally decide what you want to do by junior year when you finally got hit in the head a few times and realize that before your 30 that you should get married and have kids. College is not as spectacular as you think it is . You still got the drama, the jocks, the nerds, just like high school. You have homework just like high school and you still have a chance to act in a play or play a sport just like high school. Where else can you get access to a music production studio or play basketball. Very rare is real life. In high school, you can escape drama by going home to your mommy and daddy. Now you are forced to live with this smelly guy who pukes on your sociology textbook and feeds his math homework to his goats.

Walking through the Quad and witnessing people playing frisbee and tanning, George screams "College Alert!".
When a drunk freshman girl stumbles out of a bar and a friendly senior male helps to find her way back home, Bobby high fives Charlie as they both state "College Alert" while nodding their heads in approval.

Get the College Alert mug.A college residing in the beautifully rich and white town known as Oakdale, NY; with an acceptance rate of 80%. The college is known to mislead the demeanor of the town by welcoming with open arms, a large portion of the African American community into classes; African Americans that both lower the value of the college itself and bring down the property value of the town. Also, to add to a mixed company of acceptees, the quality of the education available at Dowling College is equivalent to that of the education at your more common high school locations. In a final note, as far as social activity, the Dormitories are more commonly referred to as Ghost Towns... this is due to the mutual fact that one would rather starve than indulge in the Riverside Cafe.
Dowling College is a Dry Campus.
