When discussing postgraduate plans with Dartmouth students, it can be surprising how often law school comes up as a potential next step. It seems that law school functions as somewhat of a catch-all for students pursuing a whole host of career paths. Unlike those interested in medical school or other specialized graduate programs, pre-law students can pursue virtually any academic interest during their undergraduate years and still be well-equipped to apply.

While many members of the Class of 2024 departed for new cities, jobs or schools after graduation, some have also chosen to remain right here in Hanover. Whether it’s working as fellows, interns or admissions officers, a number of recent graduates have found unique opportunities to explore their passions beyond the classroom, all while contributing to the Dartmouth community.

This week, like any week that I am tasked with writing the editor’s note, I’ve been looking for meaning in everything. Every third Tuesday is a game of how fast I can imbue an anecdote with importance, all while keeping one eye on a PDF I’m reading for my government seminar, the other on incoming edits for the week’s articles and my mind anywhere but the second floor of Robinson Hall.

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.

The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season has been a historically active one so far, with 11 hurricanes recorded — five of which measured over a Category Three, designated “major hurricanes” by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Welcome to week 8, Mirror. The combination of Homecoming weekend, the presidential election and the New York City Marathon — all of which somehow took place within the past week — have stirred up a strange cocktail of emotions within me, ranging from nostalgia to dread and everything in between. While I spent the better part of Election Day glued to the incremental shifts of The New York Times election forecast needle, I’m fairly confident that no one who reads this Editor’s Note is looking to me to provide political commentary — especially since this is the first presidential election in which I was old enough to vote.

Every time I exit my third-floor bedroom and walk out the front door of my sorority house, I pass the roughly 1,500 faces of former sorority members hanging in the hallways. On each floor of the house are annual composites — large, framed collections of photos of each active member in the chapter. As I brush my teeth in the morning or head upstairs after studying, I have developed a pastime of scanning the walls for fashion trends, fun hairstyles and familiar last names.

With only 24 hours in a day, sometimes students feel as though there isn’t enough time to accomplish their entire to-do lists. During especially hectic weeks filled with midterm and final exams, some may even feel like they cannot afford to stop working. This often results in burnout — when students get tired or overworked, they swear that they can feel their hair turning gray.

A mob of ghosts crowd the street. Mummies shuffle forward with arms outstretched while autumn leaves crunch beneath their cloth-wrapped feet. They all march towards the same door, outlined by a white arch set in colonial brick.

Last weekend, my sketch comedy group traveled to Yale University. Our three-hour drive down I-91 transported us from the nearly-bare trees of New Hampshire to the bright orange leaves of New Haven, Conn. When we arrived, towering Gothic buildings bathed in the early evening light cast shadows on cobblestone paths. Police and ambulance sirens echoed in the distance.

Salem in October is undeniably larger than life — a place where history, spectacle and human fascination collide.

In a small town like Hanover, Halloween provides local businesses a chance to connect with community members and celebrate the fall season. Strolling down Main Street as Halloween nears, you might see skeletons or pumpkins adorning storefronts, or local residents dressed up for some spooky trick-or-treating.
