Below is a list of all blog posts from the People Places Pines blog by Dartmouth College.
What experience/class/program at Dartmouth has been the most memorable for you?
It's hard to choose just one, but one of my most memorable classes was Biology 11: Major Events in the Evolution of the Human Genome, which I e
I'm curious about the type of curriculum offered at Dartmouth. Are there distributive requirements or core classes?
There are two strictly required classes for freshmen, a world culture requirement, and distributive requirements (to complete by graduation).

Something that is relatively important to a Dartmouth term that has an unnecessary mysticism about it is the elusive period of testing at the end of every term known simply as "finals." While they are certainly difficult and do take a lot of work,

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?
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.
I am really curious to hear your thoughts on Windows vs Mac at Dartmouth and whether there are any issues with compatibility or just ubiquity of either system on campus. And of course, which you would recommend?
I used a Windows computer all throughout high school but switched to Mac when I started college. Many of my teammates recommended getting a Mac because most of the systems that Dartmouth uses are fit for Mac operating system.
