And then there is getting to Dartmouth itself. Ever wondered how people got here before the Dartmouth Coach made getting here just a flight and a bus ride away, or when there wasn't even a road leading into Hanover? They hitchhiked. Seriously it took people six days just to get from Boston to Hanover. I like Collis as much as the next person, but not even the most delicious maple scone could motivate us to make that trek. So next time you find yourself complaining that the Dartmouth Coach is playing yet another obscure movie as you eat your free 100-calorie pack of pretzels, be thankful that your journey will only take three hours instead of 144. We'd definitely take a few parking fines over that.
