Nathan's D-Plan
What's a D-Plan?-
FallHanover, NH
Favorite Class: Bio 19 Honors Cell Structure and FunctionI took this class to explore the Biology Department and it ended up defining my freshman Fall. I grew close with other biology-minded students and together we delved deep into cellular mechanisms and processes in a fast-paced environment. The labs were long but rewarding and everything about this class made me a better scientist—Professor Bezanilla is an amazing teacher! I would recommend this class to anyone with a passion for biology and research.
Who Do You Want To Be In College?
Why Dartmouth? I don't think it begins with the school—more so with who you want to be.

No two days are the same at Dartmouth, but here is what a typical Wednesday looks like for me!
Everything Writing at Dartmouth
Learn about five ways to engage in writing at Dartmouth!
- No. 1
Your writing classes!
All first-years take a writing class and a first-year seminar (small group composition class offered by various departments). One path is to take Writing 5 (WRIT5) and a seminar. Students also have the option to take Writing 2-3 (best for strengthening fundamental writing skills) or Humanities 1 & 2 (literature-heavy, group discussion-based class).
- No. 2
The Dartmouth (aka, "The D")
The Dartmouth is Dartmouth’s college newspaper—the oldest college newspaper in the nation (1799)! If you love reporting and journalism, this is the outlet for you. The D is a massive organization with many students at varying levels of student commitment. Whether you’re interested in pure writing, interviewing, templating, editing, or even multimedia, The D has a role for you.
- No. 3
The Stonefence Review
The Stonefence Review is an arts magazine run entirely by students! This publication allows students to print poems, creative writing, photography, and other visual art. Each volume is printed, so you get to keep a physical copy of your published work (this is on my bucket list to do). A digital version of the publication can be accessed here.
