Take a stroll around the first floor of Baker-Berry Library on the day that courses drop and you will find Dartmouth students comparing schedules, reading Layup List — a website that offers course and professor reviews — and furiously browsing online for classes to fulfill their graduation requirements. For many, the jigsaw puzzle of finishing your major alongside the litany of distributive requirements is an unwelcome chore. Why should an engineering student “waste” a credit on an English course? In turn, why should an English student be forced to take a class in physics or chemistry?

It can be tempting to escape Hanover at times — to flee a difficult midterm, a messy breakup or the prospect of spending another Friday night in the same sticky fraternity basement. Yet Dartmouth’s rural location means that it can take several hours to travel to a larger town or city. Though there are options for leaving Hanover — such as riding the Dartmouth Coach to Boston or New York or renting a ZipCar — these can be costly or inconvenient. If those options don’t work, students can be left feeling trapped in the “Dartmouth bubble.”

When asked to picture a Dartmouth tradition, events such as the Homecoming bonfire, the annual snowball fight and Green Key might come to mind.

At the end of fall 2023, The Dartmouth surveyed the Class of 2027 about their views on the fraternity ban, the College’s Greek First Year Safety and Risk Reduction policy, which restricts first-year students from attending events at Greek organizations for most of their fall term. Last fall, the Greek Leadership Council, in collaboration with College administration, permanently extended the ban until November 1, according to past reporting by The Dartmouth. The new rule guaranteed that first-year students are excluded from Greek spaces on Homecoming and Halloween weekends.
