Even if they don't want to do any of those things at the same time as you do, they'll go along with you because they think you're as cool as you think they are. While girls often advertise these cherished relationships by getting super excited upon seeing each other after being separated for five minutes, guys may only acknowledge their best bros with a casual head nod.
A total of 1,080 students accepted Dartmouth's offer of admission to the Class of 2016 as of the College's May 1 deadline, representing 49.5 percent of the 2,180 students who were accepted in this year's admissions cycle, according to Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid Maria Laskaris. This number is slightly higher than the number of students who had accepted admission offers at this time last year, when 1,071 of 2,179 students had accepted offers of admission to the Class of 2015, according to Laskaris.

If I were to paint a picture generalizing all Dartmouth students' singular high school experience, I'd tell you to listen to John Mellencamp's "Jack and Diane." Then, I'd then tell you (as Mindy Kaling '01 does in her book) that our experience was the opposite. Within that description, you'd find endless variations, ranging from love to hate, public to prep and TGIF to TTSAGA (time to study and get ahead) as well as from student bodies consisting of "Jack and Diane" to just "Jack" or just "Diane."
We take athletics seriously at Dartmouth. How seriously? Enough to devote our resources to sustain 32 varsity teams. Enough to write a 12-page Mirror issue on them. And for some of us who don't play on a Division-I team, we take Dartmouth sports seriously enough to think that we are almost on a varsity team or multiple teams ourselves.
For the first time, the United States nominee for the presidency of the World Bank a seat historically held by an American faces international competition. Nigerian Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and former Colombian Finance Minister Jose Antonio Ocampo post real challenges to American nominee and College President Jim Yong Kim, giving the World Bank a chance to focus on electing the best candidate, rather than automatically selecting the American nominee, according to experts interviewed by The Dartmouth.
Emma Smith '13 has been chosen as a 2012 Harry S. Truman Scholar, which provides juniors who are interested in careers in government and public service with up to $30,000 for future studies as well as career counseling, according a College press release. The scholarship will fund Smith's pursuit of a law degree in human rights, conflict and justice at the University of London. Smith, a double major in history and geography, plans to work in conflict zones such as Sudan and South Sudan and hopes to help shape U.S. and international policies related to human rights abuses. Smith was one of 54 Truman Scholars selected from 587 applicants and is Dartmouth's 23rd Truman Scholar since the award was first given in 1977, according to the release.
Think about how many times per day you have the same conversation about how much you hate DDS or how you're already bored. I don't need to add anything here that you haven't heard already. It goes without saying that we find endless ways to complain about Dartmouth. Because we hardly come into contact with other schools, we don't understand what life is like there and have almost no perspective on the problems we face, and we fail to realize that, well, things could be worse.
"It is difficult to identify any major personal problems that do not have some element of self-control failure," he said.
Dartmouth is located in Hanover, South Carolina. Sometimes we love it, sometimes we hate it, but mostly it is awesome. Sometimes people ask where Hanover is, and I tell them that we're located in the backwoods of the Appalachian Mountains. They don't actually believe me of course, but it's funny to think about putting a country club in the middle of the woods. Can you imagine?
Using research he gathered for his award-winning book, "The Great Brain Race: How Global Universities are Reshaping the World," Wildavsky discussed how globalization in higher education offers marked benefits.
Zins said many rumors about the relationship between hazing and AD's probation are misguided.
Women first arrived on campus in 1972 as full-time students and degree candidates to signs that read, "Co-hogs go home." At the outset of coeducation, women often found it difficult to feel comfortable at Dartmouth and even harder to voice their opinions and establish their presence on campus, according to religion professor Susan Ackerman '80, who attended the College in the late 1970s when women were still new and in the minority on campus.
Aspiring entrepreneurs from the Dartmouth Kairos Society attended the fourth annual Kairos Global Summit Feb. 2-5.

The College's master's in health care delivery science program has exceeded the expectations of both students and faculty since it welcomed its first class of students last summer, according to Katy Milligan '90 Tu '07, the program's director. Admissions decisions for the first round of this year's applicants were delivered in December, and the second round of applications were due Jan. 30.
Between frat juice and vomit in our elevators, we at Dartmouth don't exactly have a knack for creating an environment that's conducive to good health. While we do whatever we can to succeed and make the most of our time here, filling our schedules to the brim working our brains until they hurt and ponging until the wee hours of the morning we almost always fail to take care of ourselves, even though we know how to.
Among the many experiences at Dartmouth we as students love to brag about is that of our penchant for international study. Any Dartmouth brochure or webpage never fails to mention that over 60 percent of us study abroad at some point in our four years here.. What we often forge, however, is that there's another 40 percent who remain in Hanover for the entirety of their academic careers at the College..
