Dartmouth goes home

By Mike Urbach | January 27, 2011

Most Dartmouth students love this College. But what do the people back home think? We all have individual identities, but there's no denying that by choosing to go to Dartmouth, we associate ourselves to some extent with its reputation and not just the academic one. Initially, my parents were on the accepted-student cloud for months.

The Light at the End of the Tunnel

By Tom Mandel | January 27, 2011

Summer of 2007. I've just graduated from high school, I'm awkward, I'm set to matriculate at Dartmouth and I spend my days trying (and failing) to get with girls and find that mythical fun-and-booze-filled party.

Smart House

By Leslie Ye | January 27, 2011

Yeah, yeah. We're the inspiration for "Animal House" and the inventors of pong. We go out more days per week than we go to class (unless you are a poor soul with a 10A) and I've heard that 1 percent of the world's Keystone is sold here.

The College on the hill meets Hollywood

By Madeline Zeiss | January 27, 2011

Animal House is easily one of the best-known Dartmouth media references of all time, but it's difficult to truly appreciate how much movies like "Animal House" have affected the way outsiders and students perceive our school.

Deidra Willis / The Dartmouth Staff How would you explain Dartmouth to someone who's never played pong with a paddle or walked to class in -20 degree weather?

Graduation looming on the horizon makes a girl think about her values. If you haven't noticed that yet, please ruminate on that last sentence and try to mentally estimate how many times you've read that sappy shit almost word-for-word before.

Majorly Difficult Majors

By Zoe Williams | January 20, 2011

I am an English major. I am English major because I like to write (revelatory!) and because I don't particularly like to endure inhuman levels of academic agony.

It's Winter term again, which means that in a few short weeks, '13s will be faced with the monumental task of filling out a deceptively simple little blank card. Despite the pressure, it's important to keep in mind that your major will not define your Dartmouth career that's the beauty of a liberal arts education, after all.

Modify This

As long as there are words to express human sentiment, there will be people trying to find ways to maximize efficiency of communication, to streamline our language into nearly unrecognizable shorthand like "u down 2 hu l8r?" Of course, slang has been culturally universal for centuries, as each society develops easy shortcuts to understand each other.

I am terrified about the prospect of a senior Spring without Homeplate. Terrified. Absolutely terrified. I've had lunch after 12s at Homeplate every Monday/Wednesday/Friday since freshman Spring.

Myth: It's never too late to change your major. Throughout my Dartmouth career, I have experienced a wide range of academic crises.
