Cost of attendance to increase by five percent for 2025-2026 school year

The total cost of attendance for undergraduates for the 2025–2026 academic year will be $95,490, an increase of approximately five percent compared to the 2024–2025 school year, according to Dartmouth’s undergraduate admissions website. Cost of attendance is calculated by the sum of the costs of tuition, fees, housing and food as well as “estimated indirect costs,” including course materials.

‘Eddington’ is a brutal, brilliant period piece about 2020

A wide range of people will likely despise the new film “Eddington,” for myriad reasons. Perhaps some will be offended by the film’s lampooning of self-righteous antiracist activists. Others might feel targeted by the depiction of its deranged far-right conspiracy theorist characters. Many others will be put off by the film’s tonal twists and turns —  particularly in the absurdist, hyperviolent third act. Then there are the great many people who might be reluctant to revisit 2020 in a film at all, regardless of the context. But for those who are open-minded and able to laugh at themselves, “Eddington” is a thrilling and hilarious satire that will amuse, provoke and shock in equal measure.

Sustainability program coordinator says the College is working on ‘adaptation’ to extreme climate events

Both New Hampshire and Vermont have experienced heat waves and flooding in the last few months. The College is working on “adaptation,” including creating bigger bridges and managing stormwater.

Microbial growth found in 14 rooms in McLaughlin cluster

Throughout July, residents of the McLaughlin Cluster dorms have reported microbial growth in their rooms to the Office of Residential Operations. On the evening of July 18 into the early morning of July 19, a custodial team sent by the Residential Operations identified 14 rooms with microbial growth and “cleaned and sanitized” them with the “best practices,” according to a campus-wide email update sent to campus by student body president Sabik Jawad ’26 and student body vice president Favion Harvard ’26. 

Montalbano: Conditioned Against Air Conditioning

In yet another display of Dartmouth’s courageous commitment to fiscal discipline, the College opted to open up Sarner Underground as an air-conditioned sleep space to the student body this summer for a single week from July 15 to July 18. Though it is noble of them to provide such a space in this year’s sweltering weather, I am neither a member of ROTC nor a soldier on the front lines of the Great War, so I find these temporary accommodations less than preferable at a school endowed with more money than the Gross Domestic Product of Lichtenstein.

If you're not familiar with the Dartmouth performing arts scene — particularly campus dance and a cappella groups — they often perform during the term on week nights at Greek houses.

Moyse: It’s the Rapture, and We Feel Fine

Summer weather in New Hampshire is pretty much perfect. With the exception of the recent heatwave, it’s sunny and just warm enough to jump in the river, but not too hot that you can’t sit outside for hours enjoying the greenery. The “Dartmouth bubble” is a well-known phenomenon, but in summer it seems to transform  into a strong plastic shield. You can still look at everything going on in the world, but it seems almost impossible to touch — and it seems as though none of it can touch you. There’s a heavy miasma that coats everyone in a “we’ll handle it later” mentality. Yet at some point, this apathy becomes absurd in the face of our world.

Freak of the Week: Clueless

Dear Freak of the Week,

Editor’s Note

It’s week five of the term, and we’re now in the Dog Days of summer. I find myself waking up every morning groggy, still tired from the night out before. Cakey mascara stains my eyelashes and under eyes while my muscles ache from somehow walking over 15,000 steps the previous day — from class to the river to the dining hall, to up and down frat row in search of a party. 

What We’re Reading: ‘On Lighthouses’

At the northwestern corner of San Francisco, you can look out to the Pacific and see the stump of a lighthouse about a mile from land, built in the early 1900s after a steamer ship was wrecked in the fog. Now partly dismantled, Mile Rocks Lighthouse has long worked in my imagination.

What We’re Reading: ‘Things in Nature Merely Grow’

“Call it a combination of keen attention and ‘a profound indifference’ (to borrow Camus’s words) or a combination of intense emotion and an equally intense apathy. The fact is, there is no word for this state I’ve found myself in, in which lucidity and opacity are one and the same.” 

‘Heart-wrenching’: Federal government spring cancellations of grant funding impact Dartmouth researchers

Reflection: Putting Down Roots

Sophomore summer has solidified for me that this is the Dartmouth I chose. The Dartmouth where my professors remember my name after the first day, where friends of friends flitz me to their house parties and where everyone I know happens to be at Late Night at the same time.
