From Pen to Paper: How Students at Dartmouth Pursue Creative Writing
(05/01/24 7:05am)
While Dartmouth students have likely written more essays than they can count, many might have trouble remembering the last time they wrote for pleasure — to craft a story just for themselves. I personally love to write poetry but can never justify pausing in the middle of a problem set to pull out my journal. Making time for creative writing can be difficult at Dartmouth. As a result, some students find that joining writing-based clubs in college gives them a dedicated space for their passion.

Muller: Climate Change Doesn’t Care About Your Political Party
(04/16/24 8:05am)
When I told a few friends I was planning on attending former Québec premier Jean Charest’s talk on conservative environmentalism at the Rockefeller Center for Public Policy, I was met with laughter and scoffs. At first, they thought I was joking, but their amusement turned to confusion once they realized I was serious. I view Dartmouth as an overall left-leaning campus, and my friends and I generally fit this category; their aversion to a conservative-leaning lecture made sense. Nevertheless, environmental conservation is decidedly a bipartisan agenda item. Political affiliation shouldn’t complicate what is quite literally a life-or-death situation, and only once we reconcile our opposing ideologies and recognize the value in each side’s approach can we begin to develop an effective solution to climate change.

Spotlight on Fashion et cetera: A club dedicated to highlighting art through fashion
(04/05/24 6:10am)
No one is exempt from the realm of fashion. A simple choice of clothing says an incredible amount about a person’s style, tastes, culture and emotional state. In truth, fashion is a silent storyteller, an art form woven into our daily lives — one that is ultimately inescapable. Though, in Hanover, where the winters are dreary and students are overrun by their readings, it’s often difficult not to dress for comfort over style. Or dressing in regards to the fashion around us.
The Hunt Is On: Dartmouth Upperclassmen’s Search for Employment
(04/03/24 7:10am)
Spring term has just begun, but for students still looking for a job or internship, it might feel as though summer is quickly approaching. In addition to graduating seniors, many Dartmouth juniors pursue summer internships to gain experience, earn a bit of extra cash or fill their newly acquired free time.

Life in the Fast Lane: Driving at Dartmouth
(03/27/24 7:05am)
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.”
Working Hard or Hardly Working: Anti-Intellectualism at Dartmouth
(03/27/24 7:20am)
When I first received my acceptance to Dartmouth in 2022, my brothers insisted that I watch “Animal House,” the 1978 classic film which is notoriously based on the College. After I finally watched the movie, I felt slightly apprehensive about my college choice. Was this grotesque depiction of debauchery — food fights, stealing test answers and threats of expulsion — an accurate reflection of Dartmouth’s campus culture?
