    这所学院一九九九年～二零零零学年度的学费为两万三千九百一十元，如果加上书本、食宿费和其他费用，共需三万五千四百三十七元。不过，这所学院对本国学生仍然实行“穷富不论，一视同仁”的录取政策。只要学生符合录取标准，学院会给学生提供奖学金。 T `$~#X~_E1Jy

BkH-?_#R     学生来自全美五十个州和全世界一百余个国家，其中亚裔学生占百分之十，黑人学生占百分之七，西裔学生占百分之五，白人学生占百分之七十五。

(@?6?toK5iO     该学院实行一种叫“达特茅斯计划”的学制，一年分四期。学生可以任选三期在校学习。这就使得许多学生可以更灵活地安排自己在校或到外校，甚或外国去短期学习的时间。 !F%U$?r1}B

Dartmouth's unique blending of a world-class research university's resources with a college's focus on undergraduate education offers small classes, top-flight facilities, and an outstanding faculty. Professors here are among the leaders in their fields yet remain committed to teaching. Students have the opportunity to take advantage of faculty accessibility throughout their Dartmouth careers, and Dartmouth's strong graduate programs in the arts and sciences allow faculty to further enrich the students' learning experience by offering direct involvement in cutting-edge research.

qb#bz2e8s C+S/e)l A flexible academic schedule (the Dartmouth Plan) is possible through the use of a year-round calendar consisting of four ten-week academic terms (fall, winter, spring, and summer). Students include terms of on-campus study, off-campus study in Dartmouth programs or at other institutions, and vacation terms in their individual Dartmouth Plans. Fifty-eight percent of all Dartmouth students participate in at least one of the approximately 45 different off-campus options.
