Dartmouth was founded in 1769 by the Rev. Eleazar Wheelock for “the education and instruction of Youth of the Indian Tribes in this Land ... and also of English Youth and any others.” Dartmouth became coeducational in 1972, and was named by the consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton as one of the world’s “most enduring institutions” in 2004.
A Dartmouth education is unlike any other. Through person-to-person teaching and opportunities to create and apply knowledge on campus and across the globe, Dartmouth instills a love of learning among its students and empowers them for a lifetime of leadership.
Dartmouth has more than 50 research-focused centers, institutes, and groups in areas ranging from medicine and the arts to engineering and business. Many of these are interdisciplinary and bring together faculty and students from across campus to work on complex issues.

It is Great. Go there. Really. Do it. You should.
I thoroughly enjoyed the people that I met at this college, as well as the interesting classes I have had the opportunity of taking. On the other hand, I believe that the "D-Plan" (the name for the 10-week semester system in which students must be on for sophomore summer and off for another 2 terms of their choosing) is a faulty system that does not allow for true immersion in studies. It also can make people feel isolated as everyone is on campus or off campus for different terms. The terms go by too fast for some students to truly process and learn the curriculum, and overall is not conducive to a good time.
It is great to study power electronics at Birjand University
