United States of Halloween

|

Halloween is uniquely celebrated in the United States, and the same traditions do not hold necessarily hold true for international students. Without being accustomed to such traditions, one might see our enthusiastic celebrations as bizarre or even outlandish.

Ghosts Galore

|

“If you’re looking for the best place in Portsmouth to take a bathroom selfie, it is here, at the Music Hall,” Rosie says. Mental note made — I will return for a ghost selfie in near future.

A Ghoul at Our School?

|

Nine School Street is haunted. Residents of the 19th-century mansion today known as the Panarchy undergraduate society firmly believe that spiritual presences both malevolent and benign haunt the buildings behind its massive columns.

Sam's Little Larks

|

Fall is my favorite part of the year. Everything is dying. People drive up from Connecticut to celebrate death, taking pictures of the chlorophyll breaking down and the suicide plunges of hundreds of little leaves.

On Mondays, We Rage

|

We saw lights flashing, cars approaching and hoards of people standing outside on the patio. Before us laid the world of the unknown — we were about to crash a party full of students from the Geisel School of Medicine.

Lone Pine Crime

|

Nestled among foliage-rich mountains, with its quaint Georgian architecture and innumerable friendly-faced students, Hanover seems little more than a quintessential, idyllic New England town.
