Dartmouth College is located in the rural town of Hanover in the Upper Valley of the Connecticut River in the New England state of New Hampshire.
Dartmouth's 269-acre (1.09 km2) campus centered on the Green makes the institution the largest private landowner in the town of Hanover,[1] and its landholdings and facilities are valued at an estimated $419 million.
Most of Dartmouth's buildings are designed in the Georgian style,[3][4][5] a theme which has been preserved in recent architectural additions.
[6] Dartmouth operates a system of six residential colleges (called "houses") similar to those found at fellow Ivy League institutions Harvard and Yale as well as the universities of Oxford and Cambridge in the United Kingdom.
"[138] The Thayer School of Engineering is located adjacent to the Tuck School of Business on the western edge of campus, near the Connecticut River.
