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. The law removes the income cap on eligibility, making all K-12 students eligible while imposing a 10,000-student enrollment cap in its first year.

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. At the center of it all is the music — the deep, booming bass, the familiar beats that keep students moving long after midnight. And at the heart of the music is the DJ.

Dear FOTW,
(10/22/25 7:00am)
This past weekend, I celebrated my friend’s 21st birthday. It’s among the first of what feels like an endless parade of twenty-firsts, milestones that have been hyped up for decades and then arrive, almost absurdly, like any other Saturday night. I walked to CVS at 11:30 p.m. for boxed cake mix, clutching it like something sacred. The cake came out mushy, uneven and a little tragic. I packed it together with both hands, literally molding it into shape, and it still tasted good. Sweet and soft and barely held together, like the night itself.

As we pass the midpoint of fall term, many freshmen like myself may find themselves reflecting on their time on campus thus far. Perhaps the excitement of the first few weeks has faded and been replaced by routine: the same familiar club meetings, ’53 Commons booths and library tables week in and week out. It’s all too easy to settle into our comfort zones, sticking with what feels safe and natural. We might try to rationalize this by appealing to convenience or reminding ourselves of our busy schedules. No matter the justification we come up with, it’s hard to deny that our reliance on routine can cause us to miss some of the most distinctive parts of Dartmouth life — the spontaneous, spirited and often-bizarre experiences that define this school’s culture.

Recently, I visited a friend from high school for the weekend at his college, a small school in Cambridge, Massachusetts … Harvard University. It was a fun trip; a dash of urban excitement is a great change of pace from our secluded home in the Upper Valley. I’d highly recommend visiting friends and family in the Boston area during the term, if possible.

On Friday night, the Courtyard Cafe buzzed with life, with a long line of students eager to test out the renovated space. The cafe, closed since August, has a redecorated interior and a layout that returns more human interaction to the ordering process, after an earlier renovation last spring was widely panned for putting a wall between students and workers.

In each of Dartmouth’s three victories this season, the team has driven down the field in the dying minutes to secure the victory. So for the stressed Dartmouth faithful, Saturday’s comfortable win over Fordham University must have been a relief. After a deadlocked first half, the Big Green focused up to sink the Rams, 30-13, in the Bronx, N.Y., to move to 4-1 on the season with five Ivy League games left.
