Muller: Be Extraordinary Here

Admission to Dartmouth, or any top college or university, takes intelligence, diligence and ambition. But an invitation to attend Dartmouth is more than a reflection of those qualities.

Roberts: Why I Actually Care About Evergreen.AI

I recently published an op-ed about Evergreen.AI. I mostly agree with what I wrote, but I decided that couldn’t be the last word on my story of why I joined Evergreen.

These classes are known as “layups,” supposedly easy-A courses that allow students to balance their heavy schedules with less demanding coursework. It seems to me that the insatiable search for the best layup is often motivated by Dartmouth’s quickly paced quarter system and rigorous course load. However, the more I’ve interacted with campus layup culture, the more futile I’ve found the search to be.

Reflection: Marx on Collis Pastries

I often make comparisons when I travel. What’s different and what’s similar in ways of living a life? Since I’ve been living in the United States for about two years now, as I study at Dartmouth, it’s often easy to ignore how capitalism really emerged and subtly became an accepted way of life for me. 

Editor’s Note

What a storm! This weekend, I felt nostalgic for the New England winters of my childhood, watching the steady snowfall blanketing Hanover’s streets. As much as stomping across campus for my 10 a.m. class sucked on Monday, I could never hate the magical feeling of fresh, sparkling snow.
