In the leadup to Valentine’s Day, we asked Dartmouth students to submit their burning questions about love, breakups and everything in between. We chose our favorite questions — some serious, some perhaps less so — and answered them below. While many of our answers offer our genuine, best advice for dealing with matters of the heart, others are more flippant — cheeky, if you will. Above all, keep in mind that we are college sophomores, not relationship counselors. We’ll let our readers decide whether to heed our advice.

Online shopping is easy, rapid and effortless. It lives in our phones, shopping carts and, ultimately, through our packages at Hinman. As we continue to spend more time online, we have begun to neglect how and where we live. After years of digitalization, Dartmouth students are slowly losing their connection to Hanover and its small business community. Local business leaders have told me, as many students can attest, that the character of Hanover’s Main Street has become increasingly corporate and bland. Meaningful experiences between Dartmouth and the Hanover community are gradually fading. To revitalize the Town, we as Dartmouth students need to reconsider our consumption habits and rebuild a connection with Hanover.

Some students have expressed concerns with campus fire safety following two incidents this month. On Jan. 18, a small fire in Gile Hall summoned the Hanover Fire Department at 2:10 a.m., according to fire chief Michael Gilbert. Three days later, a steam leak on the second floor of Little Hall prompted another response from the department at 11:30 p.m.

Many students might wonder what to do in the Upper Valley during the winter. While some of us hit the Dartmouth Skiway to get in a few weekend runs, or skate with friends on Occom Pond, those classic seasonal options can get repetitive. There’s no denying that some of New England’s charm wears off when the fall foliage is long gone and it’s too cold to swim in the Connecticut River. As a native of the Northeast, I’ve found that making the most of these chillier months often requires some creativity. So, if you’re looking for more ways to enjoy the cold this term, I recommend that you find a car, turn on your best playlist and head 30 minutes west to Woodstock, Vt., for a not-so-hidden gem: Billings Farm and Museum.

Wind in my face, the crunch of ice and the sun on my back — what better way to spend a Saturday morning? Last weekend, I teetered precariously on my rental figure skates across Lake Morey as couples, children and even dogs zoomed past me. Without the edge of an ice rink, which I would normally cling to, I resorted to squeezing my friend’s hand for the entire hour and a half spent on the frozen lake. Despite my lack of skill, I managed to remain upright and enjoy the crisp air and wintry views. As I skated along the three-mile track, I understood why so many Dartmouth students brave the cold for this activity — skating outside was an experience like no other.

Every other morning this past fall, as I started a long walk from the East Wheelock cluster to my 10 a.m. class, I had a lovely, peaceful view of the center of campus. I first passed by the quaint, quintessentially New England Dartmouth Hall. The building’s simple yet timeless design reminds us of the College’s humble origins. I then made my way toward Rauner Special Collections Library, with its enormous columns and vast windows bringing grandeur to the Green. I passed by Baker Library, which stands as the centerpiece of Dartmouth’s campus, the perfect anchor. All of these buildings are positioned neatly, respecting the Green and their surroundings. The campus has structure, and it feels almost too perfect, like something you would see in a movie but would never find in real life.

I started this winter clutching my steering wheel on the drive up from Boston.

Enter the sauna in the Alumni Gymnasium men’s locker room, and you’ll see a gaggle of Dartmouth students braving the winter months. Some may enter following a strenuous workout, while others may be desperately trying to sweat out a hangover. Others may be waiting outside the sauna door, unsure whether to enter — after all, the saunas can be intimidating for newcomers who are unaware of the culture and expectations within. Since the start of the term, I have been conducting a thorough cultural exploration of the men’s sauna. I hope this resulting guide will ease any fears about entering it.

After seven months of renovations, the Collis Center for Student Life porch has reopened for pedestrian use. The College will complete the remaining construction — including the patio staircase — and restore tables and chairs to the porch area.

After hours of lectures, club meetings or dance parties in fraternity basements, students often need a way to refuel. Rather than order from Domino’s or settle for whatever is left in the Choates vending machines, students tend to head to grab a bite in one familiar place: Late Night at the Class of 1953 Commons, colloquially known as Foco.

Just after sunset last Friday, I found myself alone on a path bordering the Dartmouth Skiway. On one side of the trail, a house down a steep hill glowed from all sides. Formations of ice covered the cliffside that lined the other and a thin frozen layer coated the ground. As I stood still, I could hear the ice moan and creak; it seemed to come alive when I looked at it for too long, breathing and shifting under my feet. Alone in the dark, it felt like staring a wild animal in the face.

In a gaudy Las Vegas chapel, Brooklyn stripper Anora — played by Mikey Madison — marries Mark Eydelshteyn’s Vanya, the son of a Russian oligarch. Two weeks later, the couple is divorced. You probably aren’t surprised. Sean Baker’s new film, “Anora,” is about the bloom and collapse of an improbable dream. It’s disappointing; we’d like to believe in the Cinderella story, that hierarchy can be ignored and discarded so that myth may emerge in its place. Baker refuses to deliver that satisfaction. In “Anora,” the fantasy crumbles into dust — albeit glittery, Brighton Beach dust. We are left only with Anora’s sadness.

On Oct. 1, 2024, Kathryn Bezella started as the dean of undergraduate admissions, a new position focusing specifically on undergraduates. She reports to dean of admissions and financial aid Lee Coffin, who was promoted from vice provost for enrollment to vice president in September 2023. Bezella primarily focuses on admitting undergraduates, while Coffin guides Dartmouth’s broader admissions goals. Prior to joining Dartmouth, Bezella most recently worked as vice dean and director of strategy and innovation for undergraduates at the University of Pennsylvania from 2023 to 2024. During her time as a student at Barnard College, and for several years after, Bezella was heavily involved in opera and performance. The Dartmouth sat down with Bezella to discuss her background in admissions and priorities for undergraduate admissions at the College.

My winterim looked like this — five hours wearing a tangle of wires and detectors to image my brain for research, four showings of “Wicked” in theaters, three Christmas dinners, two drinks at Purdue University’s most famous bar and one impending move. Make no mistake — the last item in this list occupied far more of my time than these other, albeit narratively compelling, anecdotes.

On Nov. 10, the Dartmouth Student Government Senate met for its eighth weekly meeting of the fall term. Led by student body president Chukwuka Odigbo ’25, the Senate met with Safety and Security associate director Tom O’Donnell to discuss campus infrastructure projects such as improved outdoor lighting, bicycle infrastructure and increased pedestrian safety measures.
