COUNTERPOINT: D-Plan Dating Dilemma?

By Victoria Boggiano | August 8, 2008

To break up or not to break up. This pivotal question haunts many a Dartmouth couple as one or the other (or both) will travel to London on a History FSP this Fall or spend the Winter in New York slaving for Morgan Stanley.

POINT: D-Plan Dating Dilemma?

By Kate Farley | August 8, 2008

If you ignored my earlier advice to hook up with half of the campus, you may have found yourself with a permanent pong partner (known outside of our bubble as a "boyfriend" or "girlfriend" with whom you go on "dates.") As sophomore summer draws to a close and the junior class scatters to our respective Bridgewater-provided abodes or overpriced student hovels, the question of what to do with this person looms large.

Hooking Up Off-Campus

By Andrew Wells | July 25, 2008

I thought about getting an off-campus house once. "It'll be like my parents are gone for the weekend...for the whole term!" I imagined.

POINT: Where to Live?

By Victoria Boggiano | July 25, 2008

Ah, the joys of living off-campus. Paying rent once (or twice) a month, having to clean your shower and take out the trash and being forced to make the long trek to FoCo anytime you want a sandwich. No, but seriously, dishwashing aside, living off-campus is great.

DDS + Sophomore Summer = sad face. How am I expected to live in a world where Foco closes at 10!? That's just honky talk.

COUNTERPOINT: Legit Classes?

By Kate Farley | July 11, 2008

Take legit classes during sophomore summer? Why? Not only would you miss massive facetime in Astro 3, you'd also be utterly confused by Sig Ep party blitzes referencing some guy named "Professor Ulrich." Plus, actually working may conflict with key rope-swing-jumping-off hours, or result in you missing out on the invaluable experience of bonding with your sweaty classmates in a 118 degree basement. The disadvantages are obvious, but as my naturally inquisitive nature set me thinking, I came to a shocking revelation. There are immediate, parent-friendly reasons for taking serious classes: they count towards your major, studying encourages an "adult," non-partying-oriented lifestyle and you're paying 80 times your future salary to be here.
