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.
With a max word count of 100, my cursor blinked mockingly at me. I already knew I wanted to attend Dartmouth, and I knew why—I wanted the small tight-knit community, the beautiful campus, and most importantly, the vibe that campus radiated to me.
This fall, I've had the opportunity to study abroad at University College London (UCL) through an economics exchange program. Soaking up a new culture in the bustling UK capital, I've learned a lot—not only about economics, but also about myself.
Dartmouth has so many opportunities for students to do, such as studying abroad or doing fellowships, but there are also smaller--yet still meaningful--opportunities for students to take advantage of while they are here.
As finals approach and my countdown for winter break, I reflect on my first term here as a Dartmouth student–the traditions, classes, routines, and connections that have defined my first-year fall.
Here is my last blog post for this term, so I wanted to end it on a positive note. Here are the best moments from 22F, my favorite term at Dartmouth so far!
Can you be a part of the Dartmouth community without joining Greek life?
A:
Approximately 60% of Dartmouth's students are involved in Greek life, which includes three gender-inclusive chapters, ten sororities, and fourteen fraternities.
Whenever students are on campus, the odds are that they have a campus job where they work several hours a week. Almost all of my friends have a job of some sort on campus.
If you have not heard already, Dartmouth's academic calendar runs on a quarter system called the D-Plan where you take 10 week terms. There are four terms in a year, where you must be enrolled in classes for three of the four terms.
Can you describe what it's like being a Christian at Dartmouth?
A:
"But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin." – 1 John 1:7 NLT
What is the process for finding an internship and how do I go about finding one?
