Hi! I'm Emma and I'm a junior on the Dartmouth Triathlon Team. I love walks around Occom Pond in the fall, browsing books of poetry at the Dartmouth Bookstore, and drinking tea at Dirt Cowboy. Some of my favorite things are astrology, tattoos, vintage denim, and vegetarian food. I'm passionate about feminism and social justice, and I am part of several sexual violence prevention/response groups on campus. My favorite foods are Ramunto's pizza and Ben & Jerry's Half Baked ice cream.
This class looked at food from every possible angle: agriculture, regulation/policy, marketing,
nutrition, animal rights, and much more. This class drastically changed the way I think about
food and where it comes from.
Professor Ayubi is one of the best professors in the WGST department and led an incredible
class on themes of gender/sexuality in Islam. Even those not interested in religion as a major
couldn't help but be fascinated in this class.
This class was intense in that it revealed systems of oppression and violence that exist all
around us. The objective of the nal project was to make a difference in public awareness of
those systems.
SummerOff Campus
For most of the summer I worked at a day camp, but the most important part of my summer
was the weeks I spent in Haiti, visiting the little boy I hope to adopt at the orphanage where he
lives. It is and has been the highlight of my last 4 summers.
Drawing I is an opportunity for students without much experience in the visual arts to get
comfortable in the studio. It's time consuming, but a great creative outlet, and the results at the
end of the term are worth it.
The focus on both global current events and Dartmouth-specific feminist issues covered in this class made for an engaging curriculum for both newcomers and veterans to the WGSS department.
This class takes a closer look at militarization and it's effects on gendered violence around the world in the context of the American attempt to declare a "War on Terror."
When you stop to think about it, we are constantly surrounded by images in our daily lives, including advertisements, social media, the internet, books/magazines/newspapers.
Fall term has begun and with it will soon come the beautiful changing of the leaves and sweater weather. There is nothing I enjoy more during fall than curling up with a cup of tea (or your favorite warm beverage) and a good book.
I get a lot of questions from prospies and students at other colleges about what I do in my free time since Dartmouth is "so rural," and whether I'm bored in the summer without the Miami beaches that I'm used to.
Summer term at Dartmouth is - in my humble opinion - one of the best terms I (and maybe you!) will spend here, and I am sure that my feelings about summer term are obvious from my last few articles rejoicing in the frequent river swims, picnics, a
In my humble opinion, no city, town, or village is complete without good pizza. Luckily for us here at Dartmouth, there is good pizza to be found in Hanover if you know where to look!
No. 1
C&A's
C&A's pizza has been around Hanover for so long that it is almost more of a historical landmark than it is a pizza restaurant. It is located across the street from the Black Family Visual Arts Center (BVAC), but in all the time I spend at BVAC, I have never seen anyone go in or out of C&A's before. The first time I tried C&A's pizza I was shocked to learn that they even deliver anymore. The few times I have attempted to place an order, no one answered the phone. To be perfectly honest, I have no idea how they are still in business! Anyway, back to the important question at hand: how does their pizza actually taste? All the pizzas I tried were plain cheese (I have to control some variables and respect the scientific method, you know), and C&A's cheese pizza did nothing for me. It was reminiscent of amusement park pizza: super greasy, and with uneven crust that was crunchy where it shouldn't have been and chewy in strange places. I was dissapointed, but luckily C&As isn't our only option. On to the next one!
No. 2
Domino's
I'm sure you have all heard of, if not tasted, Domino's Pizza before. The appeal of fast, cheap pizza at all hours is not lost on me, but I just can't bring myself to compromise on taste. A lot of people love Domino's garlic crust, and it is not bad, but it's not the best in Hanover. Unfortunately, the addition of the brand new Domino's store in Hanover pushed out a veteran pizza place, Everything But Anchovies (R.I.P), that had been around for decades. Domino's gets the middle score for its accessibility, low cost, and relatively decent pizza, taking those two qualities into account.

Ramunto's Brick and Brew
If you have read my blog author bio, then you know I was biased going into writing this article. I have tasted pizza from all three establishments in this article, but I order Ramunto's at least once a week, if not more. Every night, you can get a 99 cent slice of cheese pizza past 9pm if you walk into the restaurant. Their delivery is reasonably fast and pretty affordable, but the real reason they are the winner by a landslide is that their pizza is just so good! The crust is fluffy and they use generous amounts of cheese with just the right amount of sauce. They also offer a dizzying array of different types of pizza to choose from, but even if I am only judging from plain cheese, Ramunto's is the clear winner. Nothing will help you get through finals more than a hot Ramunto's pizza delivered right to your door (or to the library, it's up to you!).
Anyone who has ever seen me wearing a t-shirt or tank top automatically knows that I like tattoos -- you would get the same impression by looking through my Intagram or Pinterest feeds. I have two so far, both on my left arm.
During my first year at Dartmouth I was worried I would forget my Spanish and I missed Latin food a lot. During my sophomore year, I began searching for ways to stay connected to my Latinx heritage on a daily basis at Dartmouth.
As someone who won't receive financial aid but whose parents aren't eager to provide spending money, I'm wondering how students manage expenses for activities, day-to-day items, and outings. I'm also wondering if the College provides many free events?
A:
In terms of off-campus activities, there are a lot of great things to do in nature around campus, like hiking, that cost nothing or next to nothing.
