THANK YOU. For reminding me, my fellow alumni, current students, prospective students, parents, faculty, and the world what a wonderful place Dartmouth is. Much love, Whitney '07 Palo Alto, CA
Honestly, I never went to Dartmouth (recently graduated from Bentley), but I still love this video. Not only beautifully shot and the editing matches the pace of the music, but it captures the energy of having fun and feeling joy, and especially the feeling of being young and makes college life in general seem so exciting. It's so much better than the official music video for the song, which feels soulless.
I agree it's better than the original. I can try to phrase what you said about it in different words: this video showcases peoples' specific talents and interests to a much greater extent than the original video - whether it's dancing, or sports, or other things. In a sense, the original video reflects 'ordinary people' more, who on average don't have that many talents and interests (which is perfectly fine! life is hard enough on its own for most of us yo), while the video showcases the kinds of people who end up at Dartmouth and other Ivies. Or at least, the part of the student body who didn't cultivate talents and interests for the sole reason of getting into such schools!
Can't wait for my 10-year reunion next month!! This is definitely the Dartmouth I remember, except it was more like "happy happy happy oh sh*t I have a midterm tomorrow"!
LOVED this! I'm an alum (operating under an alias) and it brought back many memories and was a great way to reconnect with the college now. Don't listen to the troll negative comments - focus on the positive! This clearly took a lot of work - thanks for taking it on!
great job guys. way to represent and hold it down in Htown, properly. Don't let some bad apples and the media ruin the experience for you. Keep bleeding green, and keep shining through cold adversity. That's what Dartmouth kids do. Sending you love and respect. - Boots '07
I was happy as a student at Dartmouth & felt really happy watching this! Sad the radical few are generating more negative headlines. This video was brilliant! Forward this & make it "roam around the girdled earth!"
Hey out there...nice job with "Happy"!..I wrote a song for Dartmouth called "21st Century Dartmouth Fan" that you can search for here on youtube...Hopefully you'll find it and let people know about it here...
This is pretty good- I think with the recent news of sexual assaults(tied to excessive drinking), however, the keg shouldn't haven't been part of it...
Hey, am I no longer the benchmark of "creepy" here? If I'm the true creepy creep that b@b needed and Dartmouth obviously didn't, I should weigh in here. I liked the video, even if it makes me sad I'll never be able to return to familiar places nor visit the newly built ones.
Guillermo Beisbol hi, I do not recall making my comment so accept my apologies. I watched the full video and I thought it was great to see and nice ppl are enjoying life...I recall in the last year of my time in college when the tuition was raised $25.00 for a semester - we were not happy but now I think my college is up into the $40K per year, yikes :)
***** bahahaha yall. hide yah kids, hide yah wife. and by kids and wife i mean anything but praise and jubilance towards creepy shit related to dartmouth college... obvi omgomgomg wait a minute. wait a MINUTE. does this mean ill finally get on bored at baker?! look at us now ma, we've made it! make sure yall get me on my good side. and YES. that ass is au naturale, behbeh (they always wanna know in the end) "How would you go about expressing pride in the College?" critiquing it now run and tell that, #homeboi
Mayowa Willoughby The blabbering nonsense of a response above barely resembles anything close to the English language and is a good reflection of the credibility of you and the rest of you "Freedom Budgeters." How about you respond with some valid points supporting your belief rather than unjustly critiquing anything about Dartmouth that doesn't make it seem racist / sexist / oppressive. There are happy people here. That must really make you uncomfortable. Get over it.
DancingWasabi "barely resembles anything close to the English language" lololol so whad u use? google translate? babelfish? urban dictionary? im literally over here like "barely resembles the english language" and yet... homie still #responds . curious. KEEP EM COMIN YALL IM HERE ALL DAMN DAY. also i didnt critique dahtmouth. i said this video was creepy. kind of like the idea of wasabi dancing. AMIRIGHT? * braces self for overwhelming backlash from lovers of wasabi that dances * * decides time is better spent cackling at fools who respond to posts on youtube anonymously * * does that instead * #hollaaaaaaa
Mayowa Willoughby Yes I literally had to translate your poorly strung together "sentences" into something comprehensible. So since you still haven't answered, what exactly makes this video creepy? Please enlighten us.
This is much less about the college and way more about this kid singing in this video. He could have shown much more of the campus, it's students, etc. Instead he used this as a tool to market himself. Pretty disgusting. I'm not saying I have a problem with it, but he is taking advantage of the current climate and acting like he is altruistic. In real terms what has he actually done for the college? Has he inspired more dialogue? Has he bridged the gap between the dissenting on our campus? No. He was just being a gimmicky facetimey brat. This was real original (FYI)... Also, your lip syncing is off about 3 or 4 times in the video. Great production work.
It's heartwarming to watch so many students show their Dartmouth pride.
THANK YOU. For reminding me, my fellow alumni, current students, prospective students, parents, faculty, and the world what a wonderful place Dartmouth is.

Accepted class of 2021!! This song is getting me hyped!
Congrats on graduation:)
I'm just going to go ahead and attribute Dartmouth's record 54.5% yield rate entirely to how great this video is. Any objections?
SO MUCH LIKE!!! *THIS* is the Dartmouth I know &
A Dartmouth filmmaking alum is happy to see a happy Dartmouth making film!
This ROCKS! SO Glad I was able to be a part of this :) JAKE, JEREMY, AND YESUTO great work gentlemen!
Beautiful; not only did it bring back the memories of the campus and people, but the good feelings I had while in Hanover so many years ago!
This video just made me so much more excited to attend Dartmouth next year

The original is much better than the this college reenactment in the year 2022

Great video. I graduated in 1983 -- and the memories only get better over time!
Can't wait for my 10-year reunion next month!! This is definitely the Dartmouth I remember, except it was more like "happy happy happy oh sh*t I have a midterm tomorrow"!

Was this video made through the video production program at the school?
+crazymusicalgoof7 No, we just made this as an independent project. It took a lot of time, but it was tons of fun!
I wanna go to dartmouth because my parents went there

Hey out there...nice job with "Happy"!..I wrote a song for Dartmouth called "21st Century Dartmouth Fan" that you can search for here on youtube...Hopefully you'll find it and let people know about it here...
Most Funniest Version Of Happy I have EVER seen since Bart Baker
ive been there b4
My older brother goes to Dartmouth
I would have been a membre of the class of 2006 had i been accepted at the school at all.
This is pretty good- I think with the recent news of sexual assaults(tied to excessive drinking), however, the keg shouldn't haven't been part of it...
Keg???....lol...i thought it was a trash can!!
Hey, am I no longer the benchmark of "creepy" here? If I'm the true creepy creep that b@b needed and Dartmouth obviously didn't, I should weigh in here. I liked the video, even if it makes me sad I'll never be able to return to familiar places nor visit the newly built ones.

Im confused, so does Dartmouth just not accept cute girls or do none apply in the first place?
Rmunks NO CHILL!!!
