I’ve always liked the richness in history and art associated with museums, but it's completely different now that I am taking a class pertaining to studying other cultures.
One of the things I enjoy most about college is the opportunity to experience a diversity of thought and opinion. My friends range across the political spectrum from red to blue and every shade of purple in between.
Economics isn't limited to finance and business: economics is the study of how people use resources and respond to incentives, and it's also the study of decision-making.
When I first drove up to Dartmouth for my admissions tour during my junior year of high school, I remember immediately seeing the clock-face of Baker tower and knowing that I had arrived on campus.

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:

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.
