Hello! My name is Mario and I'm a Dartmouth '28. I plan on majoring in Government with a concentration in International Relations (Focusing on Foreign Policy or International Security). During my free time I love spending time down at the Connecticut River or at the Dartmouth Skiway!
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!
Now that I'm a sophomore, I find myself in the possession of an extraordinary amount of 'Dartmouth lingo.' This is your formal invitation to get the inside scoop!
If you're like I was—staring at your closet wondering what "essentials" actually means—here is what I packed, what I'm grateful I brought, and what I now know you can leave behind.
