For the second consecutive year, The Dartmouth conducted a survey polling the experiences and opinions of the current first-year class — the Class of 2028 — after their first term at Dartmouth. Students were asked to compare their high school and college experiences and share their views on Dartmouth’s Orientation Week, academics and campus culture.
As I sat in my home in New Zealand last fall, staring at the blank exchange application in front of me, I wondered what attending an American college would be like. Is it really how the movies make it out to be? Would there be Greek life and football games with roaring crowds? Scandalous Halloween costumes and beer pong? Out of the 120 different universities that my school, the University of Auckland, partners with for exchange terms, Dartmouth undeniably stood out to me. The allure of an isolated New England town, combined with the College’s liberal arts focus and traditional architecture, drew me to its campus. I believed these elements would lead to an immersive college experience, rich with community, history and tradition.
It’s that time of the year again.

As the chirping of cicadas hushes to the soft crunch of fallen leaves, the changing sounds of the Upper Valley signal that fall has arrived. This shift from summer to fall begs the question: Does the music playing from our headphones change as drastically as the music of the natural world?
College President Sian Leah Beilock wrote in her apology to the Dartmouth community after 89 people were arrested on May 1 that she had no choice but to “ask the Hanover Police Department for help taking down the encampment” in order to “put the safety and wellbeing of students first.” Yet, by comparing the current administration’s militarized response to student encampments with that of previous administrations, it is evident that Beilock’s suppression of protest is unprecedented and dangerous.
It’s summer in Hanover. The snow has melted, the mud has dried and the cold has (mostly) departed. A whole world of possibilities has opened up for the Class of 2026 upon their return to campus for the fabled “sophomore summer.” Since most students only get to experience this special term once, students must make the most of it, both in and out of Hanover. Enter the bucket list: eight activities for anyone looking to explore the Upper Valley. Last summer, The Dartmouth discussed swimming spots, stargazing and the jewelry studio. This year, we return with Ledyard’s free boat rentals and The New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
We appreciate that our colleagues working on student well-being face incredible pressure and are constrained by Dartmouth’s definition of the problem. We were, nonetheless, stunned by the framing of the May 23 “Day for Community” as a “journey of reflection, connection and community building following the protest on the Green on May 1,” according to a message from the College’s chief health and wellness officer, Estevan Garcia. Last Thursday’s event was advertised as an opportunity for healing — healing, apparently, from the peaceful May 1 protest, but not from the mass arrests, physical injuries and collective harm inflicted on students, faculty and staff by the police response to that protest.

With its bucolic New England charm, the Upper Valley is known for its natural beauty and outdoor activities. Lesser acknowledged is the area’s music scene, which boasts a small but passionate community — filling the area’s somewhat limited venues with their diverse sounds. The Upper Valley’s music scene may not be the flashiest, but it is filled with ever-growing talent and life. You just need to know where to look.
Ten members of the Dartmouth triathlon team competed at the 2024 USA Triathlon Collegiate Club national championship in Mission Viejo, California on April 13 and 14. According to the Dartmouth physical education and recreation website, the race marked the team’s first time at the national championship in its 10-year history.
Dartmouth’s beauty is readily apparent in the postcard-worthy shots of Dartmouth Hall, the Green and Baker-Berry and Sanborn Libraries. Yet students craving alone time during midterm season or an escape from their jam-packed schedules might also take solace in some lesser-known locations. When you look past Dartmouth’s most recognizable buildings, you’ll find the College is a patchwork of hidden gems which ultimately coalesce into a dazzling whole.
As I walked down Main Street this week, I found comfort in the familiar sights of the neighborhood: residents walking their dogs, parents chasing after rambunctious children and, of course, fellow Dartmouth students making emergency CVS runs, devouring a toasted bagel at The Works or scouting out a study spot at Starbucks.
Last weekend, Hanover accumulated 18 inches of snow, WMUR reported. The snowy start to the spring term follows a winter of warm weather and minimal snowfall that disrupted Dartmouth’s winter traditions.
On Feb. 25, the Dartmouth Student Government Senate met for its seventh weekly meeting of the winter term. Led by student body president Jessica Chiriboga ’24, the Senate discussed student wellness projects and spoke with a few hunger strikers for Palestine.
The forecast calls for a day full of sunshine and temperatures that hover just above freezing. The roads are quiet — everyone has left for work and school. The trees are still. From what I can tell as I look out my bedroom window, it is a perfect day for a run. I ponder the different routes I could try and reach for my phone, reflexively, as if being steered by an invisible force, to check Strava, to find the perfect route.

You might be familiar with stories about people waiting in line to get the newest Stanley tumbler, or spending hours stuck in Ticketmaster’s digital queue for Taylor Swift tickets. Comparatively, having to wait for a treadmill at the gym to free up might seem strange. Nevertheless, Zimmerman Fitness Center has been filled with students since this winter term began.
On Jan. 21, the Dartmouth Student Government Senate met for its second weekly meeting of the winter term. Led by student body president Jessica Chiriboga ’24, the Senate discussed student body outreach and activism on campus.
