<p>Since it snows a lot up in New Hampshire, does it affect classes? How do you get to class if there is a blizzard. I know Yale has this whole underground tunnel thing going, does Dartmouth have something like this? I don't recall the guide mentioning anything when I visited.</p>
<p>If there is a blizzard, you do what you always do--walk to class. The tunnels weren't mentioned because there are none that are accessible to students.</p>
<p>That kind of blows, but I still like this school</p>
<p>That's a shame about Yale; it would be so sweet if you could just take tunnels around campus all the time</p>
<p>School was cancelled one day around the year 2000, and it was mentioned that the last time before that was in 1985. It's very rare for snow to interfere that much.</p>
<p>Hmm, I'm just wondering how people get to class when there's like two feet of snow. Even more importantly, how do professors</p>
<p>Plows come through to clear the main thoroughfairs, so there would never be an accumulation of 2 feet of snow that wasn't cleared out. The most would be a few inches (except in rare instances, in which class would then be canceled.) And a few inches isn't that bad to trudge through. The campus is pretty small. You will probably be too busy 'liberating' a tray from DDS and sledding down the golf course hills to care too much!</p>
<p>njchino, I think the snow is one of the nicest parts about Dartmouth. Sure, it gets pretty old when you have to take 15 minutes to bundle up just to go to the food court, but it's worth it for all of the snowshoeing, sledding, skiing, and other winter activities offered! I have a pair of my mom's old moonboots from the 70's and I've never had any trouble getting to or from class yet (but then, it's not winter term yet!) Just plan on taking 5 minutes extra to get to class and you'll be fine.</p>
<p>Yeah, not a big deal at all! The snow is cleared quickly usually, it only makes Dartmouth seem nicer. There aren't really blizzards lol.</p>
