I had my first encounter with Bored@Baker this past Winter term when I pledged a sorority. My friend informed me that she had discovered a post that mentioned my name, and I worried for a quick second that someone had found my poorly advised ARK Music Factory video and it had gone viral (just kidding, obviously I had already sold the rights to a huge record label).

Following a retreat for Division I college presidents, the National Collegiate Athletic Association has proposed a slew of reforms that seek to improve the state of college athletics, Inside Higher Ed reported. Chief among the changes is an attempt to improve the academic performance of athletes. Under the plans, freshman and transfer athletes would face tougher academic standards, while the Academic Progress Rate which teams must reach to stay in good standing within the NCAA would be raised, Inside Higher Ed reported. Athletic conferences would also be given permission to award multiyear athletic scholarships and to grant athletically related financial aid up to the cost of attendance. The proposed changes will likely face opposition, with coaches unlikely to favor tougher academic standards, according to Inside Higher Ed.

Upon matriculation, incoming freshmen are assigned to live in one of five residential clusters, which are a collection of dorms that aim to foster a sense of community by housing primarily freshmen in their halls. Each cluster varies in room sizes and arrangements, as well as its classification as freshmen-only or mixed-class housing. Much of the freshman housing experience is defined by all-freshman floors, as clustering freshmen together provides an opportunity for first-year students to connect with their peers as they adapt to life at Dartmouth.

When I arrived at Dartmouth with my teddy bear in my arms (it's a coping mechanism, I was nervous), I had one goal: to make friends. Coming from a fairly large high school where I had a fairly large number of acquaintances and moving to a new place where I had fewer friends than I had fingers was really scary. I wasn't in fact, I'm still not concerned about what I wanted to do with my Dartmouth degree after graduation. It was and still is impossible for me to think that far ahead. Instead, I just wanted to fit in again and feel comfortable around 4,000 strangers.

A survey by the National Forum on Higher Education for the Public Good at the University of Michigan found that public colleges and universities are more likely than their private counterparts to admit undocumented students, the Chronicle of Higher Education reported. However, public colleges are also less likely to offer these students financial aid. Twenty-one percent of the private institutions surveyed allow undocumented students to enroll, and 57 percent of them provide institutional aid to these students. Comparatively, 36 percent of public institutions have policies allowing undocumented students to enroll, but only 29 percent of them offer institutional aid, according to the Chronicle.
