Below is a list of all blog posts from the People Places Pines blog by Dartmouth College.

As we near a Fall term that is shaping up very differently than any previous term, I'd like to take a moment to reflect on 20W... the last time I was on campus, and the first time I truly hit my stride at Dartmouth.
How would I describe experiencing the four seasons at Dartmouth?
I have written a few posts about transitioning to the Northeast weather, but after this winter term, I thought I would talk about how I stayed active outside this year! If you're nervous about everything snow at Dartmouth, I hope this helps!
Even if I won't see my fellows NADs (our powerful Indigenous community), Questies (Questbridge ʻ23s represent!), and First-Generation Low-Income (FGLI) folks for a little while, you should all know that you make Dartmouth a wonderful place to be.
Here are a few of my photos that I think show unique aspects of my Dartmouth experience — the views, fun times, and friends!
Being from Texas, before coming to Dartmouth I was honestly scared of how cold and isolating winter might be. I've found, however, that I love the winter.
I've taken to sitting and watching, treating myself to the slowness of green tea and silence of an uninterrupted morning. But that's one of the best things about college—it offers ample moments for reflection.
