There’s no one Dartmouth story. People Places Pines is here to share the lives of Dartmouth students — and offer a little admissions advice along the way.
The HOP runs movies weekly, bringing in anything from big popular movies such as Crazy Rich Asians, to movies by acclaimed filmmakers such as Ulrike Ottinger.
Professor Monahan, early modern trade extraordinaire, is an expert on Russian history. She’s also an expert climber. This summer in HIST 54, my friend Rachel and I (along with our eleven other classmates) heard about her exploits in both.
Even if you're a brilliant writer like Theodor Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss, one of our favorite alums), having another pair of eyes look at your paper is indispensable.
It makes sense that our priority is homework, because we came to college to get an education, but I like to say that sometimes “you just have to live a little.”
While The College's normal dining options offer a wide variety of awesome meals, it's sometimes nice to dish out a few dollars of your own to get a taste of the incredible food in the area.
With two whole days of no school, we can sleep in, get extra work done, and hang out with friends, a task that can prove overwhelming during the week, given different class schedules and extracurriculars.
After attending an open house, I fell in love with Professor Deanne Harper and her topic of Choice, 'Pursuing Happiness.' And I could not have made a better choice.
This is a question that I get from a lot of prospective students and visitors, and before I go on to my more detailed answer I just want to say; Yes! Of course, I sleep!
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?
A:
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?
A:
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.
Are non-partying students able to find their niche?
A:
Absolutely! I choose not to drink and very rarely engage in the party scene on campus, and I've still been able to find an incredible community of friends whose interests match my own.
Hello, I am incoming 22 and I'm very interested in learning languages, but I noticed that Dartmouth doesn't offer any Korean language courses. Are there any resources for learning a language not taught directly by Dartmouth faculty?
A:
Hi! If you’re interested in learning certain languages that aren’t officially offered at Dartmouth, it is likely that there is a club or organization for that language that you can join.
Right around the corner! Dimensions is a great event to explore Dartmouth after you're admitted, and help you figure out if Dartmouth is the best fit for you!
Do you find that city kids have more difficulty adjusting to life at Dartmouth than students from rural or suburban locales? The idea of a radical change of scenery from NYC really appeals to me, but sometimes I wonder if it would be too different.
A:
There are a couple qualities that I miss about living in a large city, but they are qualities I've had my whole life prior to coming to Dartmouth. Living in an isolated area has been an incredible experience that is pretty unique.
My favourite place to eat on campus is at the ’53 Commons or Foco. I like to eat here because they have a good selection of gluten-free options (I have celiac) and it’s so fun to eat with all your friends.
