15 College Towns That Feel Like Stepping Directly into a Hallmark Movie
4. Hanover, New Hampshire (Dartmouth College)
Hanover isn’t just a college town—it’s a snow globe. Dartmouth’s ivy-clad campus anchors a town of white steeples, roaring fireplaces, and Main Street storefronts dressed for every season. In winter, cross-country skiers glide through town. In fall, leaf peepers pause for cider and book signings. Cafés glow amber with study groups and cinnamon steam. Everything is walkable, everyone says hello, and somehow, even the snow feels friendly. Whether you're carrying skis or a thesis, Hanover invites you to stay just a little longer, like all the best kinds of love stories do.
