Each time course selection opens up, many Dartmouth students are faced with a shared dilemma: “Do I take a course that genuinely interests me or one in which I can obtain an easy A?” When faced with this binary, students often choose the latter. Although these so-called ‘layups’ — courses considered to be easy A’s — may be uninteresting to them or irrelevant to their focus of study, many students opt into them to improve their GPA.

When someone tells you they’re an economics major, you probably think you understand them. They’re a corporate sellout, wishing they could major in finance but settling for the closest alternative at a liberal arts institution — all in preparation for a career in investment banking or consulting. It’s almost embarrassing to admit you’re an economics major. There has been, perhaps rightfully, a growing critique of students turning away from the more traditional liberal arts majors like English and history in favor of more ‘professionally applicable’ ones like economics and computer science.

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.

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.
