Student Quotes
"Growing up is difficult, and the additional challenges that these kids face only make it harder. It’s genuinely satisfying to feel as if I am helping to make this process a little bit easier for my little sibling, and I get a friend out of it too!" Anne Bernard, ’04 Connections

Transportation
Not all of the little siblings live outside of walking distance from campus, but for those who do, the Dartmouth student must be a college approved driver.
