From an unforeseen Undergraduate Advisor's romance to an ignited marching band friendship, as the everyday life of the campus beats on, it is happening. Whether on bended knee on the Boston Common, watching the skyline from atop the Empire State Building or quietly at home on Christmas day, fellow Dartmouth students are pledging their eternal vows. On a campus seemingly notorious for lacking the archetypal dating scene, engagements at Dartmouth appear to be far less rare than might be expected.
