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.
Back to (summer) school! Sophomore summer finally rolled around and it did not disappoint. Weeks were full of Bachelorette viewing parties, trips off-campus to Vermont, canoeing and kayaking, Wednesday farmer's markets, and a lot of sunlight.
Don't get me wrong, I've loved making my own lunch salad and hosting dinner parties with my friends during the break, but with classes starting again and the snow building, I definitely need a warm meal I can just sit down for.
I actually shadowed there during my freshman winterim, as the deputy director is an alum and hosted a few students to visit the facilities and meet some of the people who work there.
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.

Dartmouth's a pretty rural campus. What do you do for fun?
A:

With course selection for the upcoming Winter term bearing down on students, a lot of my friends have been asking each other what cool classes they should take, what upcoming distributive requirements they can fulfill, and talking about how they a
What experience/class/program at Dartmouth has been the most memorable for you?
