A Pacific Northwest resident selecting a college three time zones east may be unusual, but high school senior Anders Gibbons drew on family history when the time came to make his choice. After visiting schools in all parts of the country, the four-star senior from Seattle discovered, in his final unofficial visit, that Dartmouth was the place for him.

“It was a plus for me,” Gibbons says of the prospect of attending college in faraway New Hampshire. “My parents wanted me to go away from home. My dad is from Seattle too, and he went to Maine for college. He felt it was a really good experience for him, so he kind of pushed that on me. And my mom is from the Boston area, so it's close to where she's from, so she also wanted me to go away. East Coast is great, they both really enjoy it.”
