I always heard about Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø Dartmouth, but I didn’t know what it was about until I came for a tour. It’s much more than just a small school in Dartmouth, Massachusetts. It’s where opportunities arise every day. Some of my friends are at bigger schools, but I find being at a smaller school means that connections here are more intimate and impactful. The community here makes it feel like home.
