I don't think any place exemplifies the stereotypical college town like Hanover and our dear old Dartmouth. Of the places at Dartmouth that have the best vibes, my vote — without question — goes to The Hop.
The HOP offers a lot of cool events, including both concerts and movies. This past weekend, Mountainfilm came, and a couple of my friends from the club lacrosse team and I decided to go. With our student IDs were able to get tickets for $5 each.
When exploring potential colleges to apply to, one criterion I had was that the college should have a vibrant arts culture. At Dartmouth, there are many opportunities to delve into the arts, ranging from theatre to music and studio art.
Getting the opportunity to meet prominent artists and performers has been a huge perk of being a student here, and to be honest, and as a person who hasn't really sought out these kinds of moments, randomly meeting Gina is kind of a miracle.
