Dartmouth College Campus Life

By Andrew Nadeau

If you are looking to attend a school with limitless opportunities to become heavily involved with on campus, then look no further than Dartmouth College. In 2006 a very prestigious source, the Princeton Review, rated Dartmouth College as having the third highest "quality of life" for students out of any College in the Country, and sixth for the "happiest students." It's no wonder why Dartmouth College has such a rich tradition in campus life, it offers over 350 extra curricular activities combined for the students to choose from.

One of the biggest attractions Dartmouth College has to offer is its Greek life. There are 15 fraternities and 9 sororities in all at the college, and Greek life has become such a buzz that just recently they instated a rule that said you can not "rush" a fraternity or sorority until your sophomore year. It is estimated that nearly 60% of the student body are involved in Greek Life on campus as of 2007.

Along with all the great offerings Dartmouth College has to offer comes a school that is rich in its tradition's unlike any other college around. Dartmouth College is broken down into a "quarter" system meaning that it has four terms for each season. One weekend for every "quarter" or season is dedicated to a tradition that Dartmouth has up kept since in some cases as early as the late 1800's. These weekend festivities are a perfect time for students to forget about the stresses college can bring and focus on having fun for a while.
