Daddy's Trust Fund, Liberals, and Students User Rating 2.5 rating By Cee ( Apr 24, 2018) Behold Hanover, home to Dartmouth College (please bow, this is an Ivy League School) located in the middle of Hanover, NH.

Prices in Hanover are high because the merchants want the dollars that come with students.
