<p>are dartmouth winters really unbearable? i live in philadelphia, so im used to cold, but not THAT cold. i know they have the dplan so you can skip winters for a few years, but not freshman and senior year. so is it really that bad?</p>
<p>It's actually not too bad. Last year(my first winter) was allegedly one of the coldest at Dartmouth and I scraped on by without a proper winter jacket. As long as you have layers/gloves/hat, you'll be totally fine. People live here after all. </p>
