Founded in 1769, Dartmouth College is located in Hanover, New Hampshire, a vibrant New England town two and a half hours northwest of Boston. The College and town sit at the intersection of the Connecticut River and the Appalachian Trail. To the east are the White Mountains of New Hampshire; to the west, the Green Mountains of Vermont. Dartmouth is surrounded by natural beauty, particularly during the first half of October when the leaves are changing. |
