What should I do when I arrive in Hanover?
The first thing you should do is come to the tent and register. You will need a photo ID to register. Registration will run from 8 am to 10 pm on Friday and 8:30 am to noon on Saturday at the tent. From noon to 1:30 pm on saturday you can register at lunch on Baker Lawn. You will not be allowed into any reunion events until you have registered.
The second thing you should do is check into your dorm. You should have received your housing confirmation in the mail telling you which dorm you are staying at. You should go to the main lobby of that dorm and check in. You may check in at the dorm between 8 am and midnight. Between midnight and 8 am, you can go to the C & R housing office in Mid-Mass and receive your keys.
I never received my housing confirmation. How will I know what dorm I am staying at?
You should call the Commencement and Reunion Housing Office: 603.646.3288
Will I be allowed to stay in the dorms if I have not registered for reunion?
Reunion housing (in the dorms) is only available for those classmates (and their guests) who are officially attending reunion (and registered).
...parking?
If you arrive before 5 pm on Friday, you should park at a meter, a garage in town (check out the new garage next to Ben & Jerry's), or park at Thompson satellite parking. After 5 pm on Friday, you may park at any legal spot on campus.
If I arrive at reunion without a housing reservation, will I be able to stay in the dorms?
The dorms will likely be full by the start of reunions, so the answer is probably no. Your best bet is to call the Commencement and Reunion Housing Office: 603.646.3288
Can I register for the reunion when I arrive in Hanover?
Yes, you can. You should come to the registration tent and register and pay with either a credit card (Visa or Mastercard) or by check (payable to the Dartmouth College Class of 1999). To avoid waiting in a line at registration (and to help us make sure we have enough food and refreshments), we encourage you to register online before reunion.
When is the reunion?
Our class reunion will be held in Hanover from Friday, June 18 to Sunday, June 20, 2004.
When should I plan to arrive/depart?
Reunion events will begin on the afternoon of June 18 and will conclude midafternoon on June 20.
When will our tenth reunion be?
Our tenth reunion will be held jointly with the Classes of 1997 and 1998 June 13-15, 2008.
When do we register for reunion?
Registration for reunion will open in January 2004, and will continue through May 2004. Onsite regstration will also be available
How will we register?
In January 2004, you will receive a registration mailing that will include information on registering online or via U.S. mail.
How do I know you received my payment/registration?
A list of those who have officially registered for union will be posted on the reunion website after January 2004.
Can we go to some events and not others? Do we have to pay for all events?
The class reunion is a package deal, and all events are covered in the registration fee (with the exception of a limited number of special events, such as the day trip to Moosilauke). Because we need to recover expenses and have overhead that extends beyond specifiec reunion events, we are unable to offer registration on a per-event basis.
Should '99 couples register for reunion separately or have one person register and put the other as their guest?
It is up to you and your significant other how you would like to register for reunion. From our perspective, it does not make a difference, as long as you indicate that you are both members of the class. Both individuals will be included on all attendance lists, so you can feel free to register in the way that best fits your situation.
Does the manner in which '99 couples register have any effect on how you are housed in the dorms?
Registration for housing and subsequent room assignments is completed by the College in a process completely separate from this registration. Look for more details in the spring.
I am a parent and will be bringing my child along to the reunion. Are there any child care options available?
We are thrilled you will be joining us for reunion and bringing along your child! We suggest the best option is for you to arrange your own child care by hiring a Dartmouth student who meets your need and expectations through the Student Employment Office (http://www.dartmouth.edu/~seo/index.html).
How much will reunion cost?
Fees for reunion have not yet been set, but we anticipate that they will approximate those of the '98s and '97s -- in the neighborhood of $200. Register early to take advantage of a special early bird discount!
What does the cost of registration include (and not include)?
Your registration fee covers your meals and veberages (dinner Friday, all meals on Saturday and brunch on Sunday), a special souvenir, and the entertainment and activities over the course of the weekend. Your registration fees do NOT include housing for the weekend.
Why do I need to pay to go to the reunion?
The class needs to charge a fee to recover the actual costs of reunion weekend, including not only charges for food and entertainment, but also more mundane costs such as room rentals, security, supplies, and the like. We would not be able to provide this quality event without asking that each individual pay a registration fee.
Is there a discount for paying early?
A discount will be available to those who register early, check this site in January for further details.
I really want to go to the reunion, but can't get to Hanover. Will other 99's carpool?
Individuals interested in carpooling to attend reunion in Hanover can utilize the class discussion board to post and arrange rides. The class discussion board is available at: http://www.dartmouth.org/%7eclasstlk
Are there any airline discounts available?
We have partnered with United Airlines to offer airfare discounts to both Boston and Manchester for our Fifth Reunion.
You will receive a 5% discount off the lowest available fair, and you will receive an additional 5% discount if you purchase your tickets at
least 30 days in advance. To take advantage of the discount, you should call United's Specialized Meetings Reservation Center at
1-800-521-4041 between 8 am and 10 pm EST and refer to the Meeting ID number 524AD.
Mileage plus members receive full credit for miles flown to reunion.
Will 98's and 00's be there?
In our fifth reunion year, our class will have its own reunion. During our 10th, 15th, and 20th reunions, we will have joint reunions with the Classes of 1997 and 1998.
Can I bring non-Dartmouth people?
You are more than welcome to bring friends, spouses, fiances, etc. who did not themselves attend Dartmouth. Each individual attending the reunion will need to pay a separate registration fee.
How will I know who's coming to reunion?
This fall, we will be sending cards to all memebers of the class, asking them to indicate whether they plan to attend reunion and will post this list on this site. After January 2004, the site will also include a list of those who have sent in their registration forms.
What exactly goes on during reunion?
You will have time during reunion to catch up with friends at dinners and special events as well as at mini-reunions that your house or student organization sponsors. There will also be time during reunion to learn more about life at the College today, time to hike Moosilauke, and explore Hanover and the surrounding area. You can see a tentative schedule of events for reunion on the reunion website. Stay tuned for more details!
How much will it cost to stay in the residence halls during reunion?
$40 per night per person...
What does this include?
You will receive a towel (you might want to bring your own that’s bigger), linens (pillow/case, sheets and blanket), and on-campus living nostalgia!
When is my housing application due?
The deadline is for your Housing application is April 19th. Any cancellation made before the May 24th date is subject to a $25.00 cancellation fee. There will be no refunds for cancellations made after May 24th. Remember, the sooner you get your application in the better as there are a number of other classes reunioning the same weekend with us and housing spots fill up very quick.
What residence halls will the ‘99s be assigned to?
We have been assigned Wheeler, Richardson, Topliff, and New Hamp. However, the Office of Residential Life can not guarantee your room in these locations – assignments are made on a first come, first serve basis…so again register for reunion and send in your housing application soon!
What do I do if I want to share a room with my best friend(s)?
You will need to send in one application with both (all) names of the folks wishing to room together. PAYMENT FOR BOTH MUST ACCOMPANY ONE APPLICATION. Basically, you’ll have to have your friend reimburse you if you’re the one designated to send in the app for your room. If you are not paying for them, and want them as a roommate, you can write their name in at the bottom of the application in the "Special Requests" box. The Office of Residential Life will do their best to accommodate, but cannot make any guarantees. Remember, if the housing office doesn’t receive an application they won’t be able to offer you housing.
How do I make special requests for first floor/handicap housing?
On your application form there will be room for special requests. Please feel in any specific needs you have and the Office of Residential Life will do it’s best to fulfill each request.
When will I know where I am staying?
You will receive your housing confirmation in the weeks prior to reunion.
When is do I have to Check Out on Sunday?
Mandatory check out time is 12pm on Sunday, June 20th. There is another conference coming in Sunday afternoon so it is imperative that you adhere to your check out time.
How can I find out more information about reunion housing?
