Hey everyone! I'm Cooper from Wayne, Pennsylvania, which is right outside of Philadelphia. I am a '28 here at Dartmouth, and plan on studying Quantitative Social Science and Cognitive Science. In my free time, I love getting food with friends, playing pickleball, watching sitcoms (personal favorite is Modern Family), and going on walks. I am super excited to be here and cannot wait to take you along my journey at Dartmouth!
I took this class with Professor Binkoski, and I absolutely loved it! We explored numerous theories regarding time travel and the existence of time, and it just completely blew my mind. Professor Binkoski is such an engaging lecturer and explains everything so thoroughly, which makes the class so incredible! After taking this class, I have become more interested in philosophy and cannot wait to take more classes in this department.
I took this class with Professor Horiuchi and learned more than I could have possibly imagined! This course is incredibly challenging and has a good amount of work, but I learned so much about the programing language R as well as how to wrangle and visualize data. By taking this class, I have confirmed that I want to major in QSS because of how interesting the material was. If you want to enhance your skills in R, this is the class to take!
This past week, it has been quite tropical here at Dartmouth. With temperatures above 60, the sun beaming down, and the air feeling clean and amazing, it is safe to say that we have officially entered Spring! Let me talk about just how amazing it has been so far!
The Green: When it gets warmer, it is undeniable that every student gravitates towards the Green. Whether it is just sitting and talking, playing Spikeball, or doing work, the Green becomes the most popular spot on campus during the warm weather! It is truly incredible to see so many students sprawled out and having such an amazing time as a way to take a break from studying.
Picnics: The picnics have truly been neverending, and I absolutely love it. Sitting on the Green as the sun goes down while hanging out with friends feels like a scene out of a movie, and it is just such a great break from studying. I usually like to get food from Courtyard Cafe (also known as The Hop) and bring it to the Green, but you can really do this at any eating place on (or off) campus!

Walks: And finally, the walks are just incredible. Whether it is just walking down Tuck Mall or around campus, the weather has allowed me to be outside as much as possible. Walking to class, to the library, or back to the dorm has been so much more enjoyable now that the sun is out and it is not too cold. I especially love walking back to my dorm during the sunset, as it is absolutely beautiful to look down at Tuck Mall!

As you can see, the spring weather has made campus even better than it already was!
As a practicing Christian, my faith has always been the foundation of my life. Coming into college, I didn't want to lose that essential part of my identity. I wanted to deepen it. That's when I found Cru — and it changed everything.
Dartmouth works to provide a variety of accommodations that suit each person's individual needs. Curious as to how housing accommodations work, whether they be for medical or religious reasons? Read on.
