COUNTERPOINT: D-Plan Dating Dilemma?

|

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?

|

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

|

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?

|

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.
