- [Sam] I'm Sam Clark with Crimson Education and
we're here at Dartmouth to ask some big questions.
Check that out!
(Upbeat music)
What's the best thing about Dartmouth?
- [Female] I think the best thing about Dartmouth
is just like the sense of community here,
everyone, like works together, like you're not where
you're constantly competing against your peers.
- [Female] So I think compared to like schools in like
the city and urban areas, like, the students are like,
we live, we literally live together.
And that creates a community feel.
- [Female] You say "Hi!", to literally
everyone when you're walking by.
It's a big sense of community, which is really nice.
- [Male] I like the environment of it,
it's very connected and it's a small campus,
which makes it easy to make
friends and make good connections here.
- [Male] The people here are amazing
and it's a beautiful location.
- [Male] I really like the deep plan.
I think that even though it's only
ten weeks, each term, it's not very
stressful, the students have told me.
- [Sam] What is that?
- [Male] What? Oh the deep plan?
The fact that we're on a quarter
system not a semester system.
- [Sam] Got it.
- [Male] Outdoors. You can go out,
you can go mountain biking, go skiing, it's great.
- [Sam] What's the worst thing about Dartmouth?
- [Male] I don't think there is a worst thing.
- [Sam] No worst thing?
- [Male] Cold, cold.
I'm from California so I have to say the weather, yeah.
- [Female] Honestly the weather.
Like it is so cold here, it's ridiculous.
- [Male] The incredible amount of work.
- [Male] Definitely the skiing, you never get a break.
It's always one thing to the next, man.
- [Male] I wouldn't say it's the worst part of it,
but it's kinda isolated, which I guess
you could see that as a pro and a con.
- [Female] Being in a rural area, so that you don't have,
like, the I guess, the things that you can get from
living in a city like, for example,
concerts or I don't know. Other urban things.
- [Sam] What do you typically do on weekends here?
- [Female] Homework.
- [Male] Work, work, nonstop.
- [Male] I'm part of a fraternity here on campus,
so you know, that's always a door that's open to me.
- [Male] Usually I, I don't really do too much,
usually try to get some work done
before I, like, go outside at least.
- [Female] Parties.
- [Male] On Saturday nights we either
go to fraternities or study.
Plus we're on the rowing team so we can't,
like, go out every night, but like, we would if we weren't.
- [Sam] If you weren't rowing you'd
be going out every night? Got it.
- [Male] They have movie nights.
They have events at Colus every weekend,
so there are a lot of options for students.
- [Male] Just one thing to add to that would be,
I like to go to the gym burn off some steam on those nights.
- [Male] Yeah I like to go out, go to the gym
and workout, or I'll go to an event.
Events are open to, like, all students so it's really nice.
- [Sam] And if you remember, what did
you write your college essay about?
- [Male] Uhhhh...
(Silence)
- [Female] I wrote it about watching my grandma
suffer through cancer, and how that,
like, inspired me to get into
like the biomedical engineering field.
- [Male] I wrote mine about rebuilding an old car.
- [Female] I wrote about my names.
- [Female] I think I wrote about my cultural background.
And why coming to Dartmouth would help me
understand my cultural background more.
- [Male] Like I had a passion for
aviation, so I wrote it about that.
- [Female] I wrote my application essay about
my experiences with anorexia, and also
how it's made me, like, a better person.
- [Sam] Anything to add?
- [Female] Not really, Dartmouth is the best, obviously.
- [Sam] Dartmouth is the best!
Do you have a Dartmouth cheer?
- [Female] Dartmouth cheer? No.
- [Sam] What's the mascot? Is there a mascot?
- [Female] Sort of. It's a keg.
- [Sam] A keg?
- [Female] Yeah, Keggy the keg.
- [Sam] Wait really? Just like a, like a beer keg?
- [Female] Yeah, you can google
it, there's lots of pictures.
(Drumroll)
(Crickets)
- [Sam] Keggy the keg? Thanks so much, have a good one.
