The Stacks (but only the seats in entrance of the Berry window)

The Stacks aren’t actually an “alternative” place, besides that most folks take into consideration them a worse choice to nearly anything else. If I’m ever in concerning classes with a couple minutes of do the job to get accomplished, I like to duck into the initial ground of the Stacks, exactly where every person strolling by way of Berry can see me.

Collis A person Wheelock

Just one Wheelock (Dartmouth’s consider on Central Perk) is an less than-rated spot in the decreased flooring of Collis.

A basement. Any basement.

The ideal way to research is to lower oneself off from pure light and locate the grayest, most upsetting location doable — believe the 1902 room, but without having home windows. In my two decades at Dartmouth, the finest basement I ever discovered was in my freshman dorm, Bissell. I’ll hardly ever neglect that basement for getting the impetus for some of my most unhinged Snapchats and some of my deepest existential crises. 666/10

Foco

Upstairs also tends to be quieter and feels like you are sitting down in a Panera Bread. 9.5/10

Prime of the Hop

The best of the Hopkins Middle is in which you must go if your only personality trait is that you can perform Chopsticks on the piano and you want every person downstairs to know it.
