Hello! My name is Mario and I'm a Dartmouth '28. I am double majoring in government and economics with a concentration in international relations. I love to spend my free time swimming at the Connecticut River or skiing at the Dartmouth Skiway with friends!
In today's post, I want to talk about my first Green Key Weekend at Dartmouth!
This is the most popular event at Dartmouth during the spring quarter. Green Key is a weekend filled with concerts by visiting artists and student bands. This year, we had 'A$AP FERG' and Jay Sean perform on campus.
This is me at the start of Jay Sean's performance!
The entire weekend is filled with concerts, celebrations, and an overall enjoyable mood throughout campus. It is intended to provide students with an outlet to take their minds off school, relax and decompress, and simply have fun with their friends. The best part of this event is that it is entirely free for students to attend!
Green Key weekend is an opportunity for students to take a break from schoolwork and enjoy campus life and the blooming spring season.
Students are encouraged to spend the weekend doing things they enjoy, whether that be attending concerts, spending time with friends, exploring the Upper Valley, enjoying the spring weather, or simply getting rest.
My friends and I decided to spend some time by the river to enjoy the nice Spring weather and relax at the end of Green Key Weekend!
I enjoyed my first Green Key a lot. I spent the entire weekend having fun with friends, attending outdoor concerts sponsored by Greek organizations, and getting some rest to recharge for the end of the term.
Therefore, I have found that Green Key is one of the best events at Dartmouth; many students look forward to it because of its multiple activities and the fun nature of the event. It's an opportunity to connect with the Dartmouth community and spend quality time with your friends. It is a much-appreciated change of pace!
Amid the whirlwind of a ten-week term, the quietest moments — studying in the sun, cooking with a friend, running through Pine Park — turn out to be the ones worth savoring most.
Thanks to West House, one of the housing communities I'm part of, I got the chance to go on an overnight trip to New York City. Read on to hear all about the experience!
After three terms apart due to Dartmouth's D-plan, junior spring marks a joyful reunion with old friends, deepened by the Toulouse study abroad group that has carried their bond seamlessly back to campus.
