New Hampshire’s education scene mixes top national universities, small private schools, and community colleges.

Dartmouth College, a premier ivy league school, boasts bustling Greek life and rigorous academics that rank among the nation’s best. Students and families from around New England flock to university events in the state each year, including UNH’s annual homecoming and Pumpkin Fest at Keene State University.

Earnings: The median earnings of all bachelor-level students 10 years after enrollment. This includes both students that do and do not graduate, across all majors.
