Dartmouth College
Hanover, NH
The smallest and most undergraduate-focused Ivy, set in rural Hanover, New Hampshire, with a distinctive quarter-based academic calendar (the D-Plan) that lets students mix terms off-campus with terms on. Social life leans heavily on its large Greek system (a majority of upperclassmen join) and an outdoorsy, close-knit campus culture, alongside one of the most engaged alumni networks in the country.
