Description
There is plenty to enjoy outside of your studies at Tuck. Fun, recreation, and cultural diversion are all nearby and easy to reach. Favorite destinations include Vermont's legendary ski slopes, the cosmopolitan attractions of nearby cities—or fun that's right around the corner in Hanover. For instance, Dartmouth regularly brings acclaimed attractions in music, theater, and film to the Hopkins Center for the Arts.
Northern New England calls people outdoors all year long and makes it easy to enjoy one of the nation's most spectacular natural settings. You don't have to spend hours in the car to take a hike, paddle a kayak, or hit the ski slope. In addition to extensive athletic and fitness facilities, Dartmouth has its own 18-hole golf course, downhill ski area, and canoe club. And novices are welcome.
The Upper Valley also boasts a range of family-friendly attractions, such as the nearby Montshire Museum of Science, the Billings Farm and Museum, Dartmouth's riding center, and local libraries that offer story times, puppet shows, and other community events.
And when the craving for urban excitement hits, Tuck students head to the lights of New York, Boston, or Montreal, easily accessible by car, bus, or train.
Accommodation Hanover
Tuck students don't scatter after classes are over. More than half of first-year students live in on-campus residence halls, and the rest live nearby, making spontaneous social events and shared activities a way of life. At the center is Whittemore Hall, which provides private student living accommodations and facilities for the entire Tuck community, including social areas, group study rooms, a business resource center, and an exercise facility with locker rooms.
All second-year students live off campus in rental apartments and houses—many of which are passed down to successive groups of Tuck students from year to year. Many students from both classes who have partners or children rent duplexes or town houses in Sachem Village, Dartmouth's graduate student housing complex.
