Robert Frost
âGood fences make good neighbors.â Robert Frost crafted some of the most indelible lines in American poetry in such poems as âMending Wallâ (1914).
Robert Frost attended two colleges during his early adulthood, though he did not graduate from either:
- Dartmouth College: Frost enrolled here but left after less than a year due to his impatience with academic routine.1
- Harvard University: He resumed his studies here in 1897 but departed after two years.1
While he later served as a poet-in-residence at institutions including Harvard, Dartmouth, and Amherst College, these roles were professional appointments rather than periods of undergraduate study.2
