On June 10, Republican Gov. Kelly Ayotte signed S.B. 295, dramatically expanding New Hampshire’s Education Freedom Accounts with state-funded savings accounts that allow K-12 students to use public tax dollars for private school tuition, tutoring and other expenses.

Dartmouth Thayer School of Engineering’s Dual-Degree Program allows students to attend two liberal arts institutions and earn two degrees in five years: a bachelor of arts from their home college and a professionally-accredited bachelor of engineering from Dartmouth. It’s an unconventional path that requires students to split their college experience between two campuses, navigate two distinct academic cultures and constantly readjust to new environments.
It’s a small thrift store, but there are those that love it. Nestled in Massachusetts Row, the Dartmouth Free Market sits a mere 30 seconds from the path frequented by many on their way to Foco — yet, most students never make the detour to the dimly lit North Mass basement.
Filled with pulsating lights and the sticky humidity of too many bodies packed together, a night in a dorm or fraternity basement has become an iconic aspect of Dartmouth “going out” culture.
