"Tell us about your college experience.It was a great fit - I met some of my best friends and had my best educational experiences there.Would you get the same degree if you could start over?I would choose the same degree, but would have structured my biology studies differently.What advice can you offer other students?Be smart about picking classes that are challenging without being out of your reach."

"Tell us about your college experience.College was a good fit for me though I was not as much into the social/drinking scene as many other students. This was fine for me though; I'm very comfortable following my own path. But I loved my courses and professors, and being involved with dance and campus organizations.Would you get the same degree if you could start over?I would choose the same degree, but I would also take science/public health-related courses. I want to pursue a career as a Nutritionist and Yoga Teacher, so having an academic background might have helped me when applying for graduate programs.What advice can you offer other students?Be open to taking a variety of courses and get involved with as many groups as you're interested. Also, don't let anyone tell you that what you want to do isn't "right" or that you should pursue something else because it's easier or the more traditional route. You'll be happiest when you follow your passion and heart."

"Tell us about your college experience.Mostly I think some of my problems were things I would have had issues with anywhere. But, others were specific to the school.Would you get the same degree if you could start over?Yes, because I loved it. I am not sure I would have graduated if I hadn't majored in it, because those were the classes that helped me keep going when times were tough.What advice can you offer other students?Trust your instincts."

"Tell us about your college experience.Dartmouth is a liberal arts school, and I was interested mostly in the knowledge, civic virtue, and intellectual growth that accompanied my education rather than any direct connection to salary or vocation after graduation.Would you get the same degree if you could start over?I would not change a thing. I would rather have a basis in humanities, sciences, politics. literature, history than a narrow technical degree. I might lose some salary for it but it has made me a more well-rounded individual and a healthy intellectual life marks a better life than a larger paycheck.What advice can you offer other students?Don't worry about finding your dream job. Take opportunities and risks, and find your passion where you are planted. Read Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken." It is silly to look at forks in the road of our lives with awe and trepidation. Just choose and pursue it with passion and hard work."

"Tuck is a highly competitive school to be accepted into, though its students are far more collaborative than competitive. Its small class size makes for accessible faculty and more opportunities."

"The program is what you make of it, but the surrounding area can be very unforgiving, dull and racist. Being a grad student in a predominantly undergrad institution is tough. It sometimes seems as if grad students are completely overlooked and left out of most campus activities."

"The school is what you make of it. It is very easy to have a great or awful experience. The faculty and staff can be a bit of a challenge to communicate with, but I found that if you make a few good connections then you should be on your way. Undergrad classes feel like a lot of busy work and the grad classes depend on the professor. Grad professors can be very subjective and difficult to please. But once you figure out the ways of your professor it is easier to figure out how to go about the rest of the class."

"Beyond its reputation, Tuck provides both academic rigor and insight in the business world. But to me, Tuck distinguishes itself because of the access to the Alumni and to visiting executives. Their availability but mostly the mere size of the school makes Tuck an incredible platform to kick-start ones network."

"The biggest pro is the close knit culture and the incredible alumni access. Also accessible are the who's who of the business world that visit campus often. The biggest con is perhaps not having sufficient global case studies as part of the curriculum."

"Tuck's program combines intellectual rigor with motivated and exceptional students in an idyllic remote setting and incredibly supportive environment which creates a lifelong community and network that is just as strong twenty years down the road as it was during the two years in Hanover. I couldn't have made a better choice."

"I feel surrounded by supportive and intelligent peers and mentors. You must love the outdoors and winter to live here though, but if you're applying to medical school - there are no superfluous distractions!"
