Is Hanover a very liberal town? I was under the impression Dartmouth was on the more conservative side as far as ivys are concerned, though not anywhere near certain about that so just curious local perspective

That's like saying Rolexes are on the more inexpensive side as far as premium Swiss mechanical watches are concerned.

It's Ivy League conservative, which is still pretty liberal compared to a lot of NH. Definitely holds to the classic NH "socially liberal, fiscally conservative." Lot of pro pride and POC flags about town for sure.

That sounds like what most normal people I know think, didn’t realize that was considered conservative or liberal

Dartmouth has a small group of loud, attention seeking conservatives. Otherwise, it's a normal, mostly liberal campus and town.

Hanover's school district tried to hammer through CRT into the teacher training with no public input or debate.

But, like all elite colleges, they are liberal as fuck until it comes to finances that affect them.
