Tuck will charter and cover the cost of roundtrip buses for prospective students between Hanover, NH and Boston, MA or New York, NY. You will be responsible for arranging and paying for any travel beyond the Tuck-sponsored charter buses.
After being accepted to Discover Tuck: Perspectives, there will be a registration process that includes indicating interest in seats on Tuck-sponsored charter buses which will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Please note that though partners are welcome to attend Discover Tuck: Perspectives, priority for charter buses is given to prospective students.
If you will not be taking a Tuck-sponsored charter bus, we recommend traveling via Dartmouth Coach or personal vehicle. You will need to arrange and pay for your own transportation to and from campus and Tuck will reimburse verified transportation costs up to $75 after the event.
Please note that rideshare services in the Upper Valley are limited (and often unavailable).
See the details that follow to learn more about getting to Hanover.
Dartmouth Coach: Boston is Hanover’s most versatile access point. The Dartmouth Coach bus service connects both Boston Logan Airport and Boston South Station (interstate buses, Amtrak, and MBTA) with 10 daily routes. The Dartmouth Coach drops you off in downtown Hanover, along the Dartmouth College Green, and is just a short walk to Tuck. Dartmouth Coach also offers service between Hanover and New York City.
Personal Vehicle: Hanover is a short two-hour drive from Boston or five-hour drive from New York City. We will have parking available for those who drive to Hanover.
Local Airport or Train (less preferred): There is also the Lebanon, NH airport (immediately south of Hanover) which flies a few flights per day to White Plains, NY and Boston, MA. Please note that these are very small aircraft with perhaps a dozen seats. In addition, Amtrak serves White River Junction, VT (across the Connecticut River from Hanover). If choosing these options, you may encounter significant wait times for car services/rideshare to get to/from Tuck as these services are limited in our area. Consider reaching out to local car services ahead of time to arrange transportation in advance.
There are a few other airports (Burlington, VT; Manchester, NH; Hartford, CT) that will bring you closer to Hanover, in case you are trying to compare flight costs, but you would need to rent a car.
