With about 185 students per class, not only do you get to know your class, but also most of the students in the class ahead of you. However, this also means you must be prepared to actively participate in class each day. While second year classes can be as large as some of the first year classes, they are often smaller and offer an even more intimate educational experience. The Tuck environment is very supportive, and this applies to the treatment of all minority contingencies. Tuck places a high emphasis on recruiting the best women in the working world and actively seeks to maintain a healthy representation of women in the classroom and on the administration.
Reactions differ from student to student.

In the winter, skating, hockey, snowshoeing, and skiing are popular. In addition to our proximity to ski areas like Killington, Sugarbush, and Stratton, Dartmouth College runs a downhill ski area located 20 minutes away. There are also some fabulous, groomed cross-country trails right in our backyard.
