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 world in which you are awaiting college decisions is not the same in which I did, nor that in which students a year behind you will. That said, with college decision letters on the horizon, I'd like to give you some of my own advice.
Because the town and school are small, they are extraordinarily interconnected and, in my experience, people in the community have been super welcoming. One long time Hanover resident even helped me pick out a good winter coat!
When I think of "old" at Dartmouth, I think of the many parts of campus that are rich in history. So this week, I went around to a couple of locations on campus to capture some of the historical parts of campus and their history.
I don't think any place exemplifies the stereotypical college town like Hanover and our dear old Dartmouth. Of the places at Dartmouth that have the best vibes, my vote — without question — goes to The Hop.
When I came to Hanover almost four years ago to start my freshman year, finding every place that serves coffee was of the utmost importance. Here's the rundown on the best places in town for coffee.
How has the D-Plan enabled you to explore various interests/opportunities?
A:
If you're looking into Dartmouth, you must have heard about the D-Plan by now. If you're still not sure what the D-Plan is, a simple explanation is that you get to decide when you're at Dartmouth, with a few requirements: you have to be here "on"
How frequently are students able to enroll in the classes they want?
A:
This was a question I thought about quite a lot at the start of freshmen fall. Now, as winter term is just around the corner, this question is again raised by many of us, myself included.
As someone currently working as part of the admissions team and the Collis Center for Student backstage production crew, I mean it when I say that it is incredibly easy to search and apply for a job here at Dartmouth.
Coming from a boarding school, I didn't get to work during the weekends. Coming into Dartmouth, I was excited at the prospect of being able to finally get into the workforce. There are many reasons why you would want to work.
How did you become a blogger? What was the process like?
A:
Great question! First of all, let me just say that becoming a blogger for the Admissions Office was something I never planned to do (or frankly, even knew about before coming to Dartmouth).
