Yehalah's D-Plan

What's a D-Plan?

    • FallHanover, New Hampshire

      Favorite Class: SART 015: Drawing 1

      The class I cherish the most so far at Dartmouth! It was an absolute pleasure to explore my creative side in this beginner art class.

    • WinterHanover, New Hampshire

      Favorite Class: SART 025: Painting 1

      The sequel to Drawing 1! Undoubtedly harder, but definitely a great class. I can now say, with confidence, that I am able to paint a mango successfully.

    • SpringHanover, New Hampshire

      Favorite Class: HIST 07.37: Race, Nation and Ethnicity

      An extremely informative and eye opening class which I would recommend to anyone.

    • SummerColombo, Sri Lanka

      Taking a break at home with good food and family!

    • FallHanover, NH

      Favorite Class: GERM 1: Introductory German

      My first language class at Dartmouth! It was fast-paced but I learnt so much in such little time and I loved the process.

    • WinterHanover, NH

      Favorite Class: ARTH 38.01: Sacred Architecture of Asia

      The Sacred Architecture of Asia is one of the most incredible courses I have taken at Dartmouth! The course is primarily discussion-based, with Professor Seher explaining and initiating conversation about the course material.

Weekend(s)!

A comprehensive list of what a weekend at Dartmouth may look like!

  1. No. 1

    Fallapalooza!

    Peach Tree Rascals

    The Programming Board at Dartmouth (which I am a new member of!) organized Fallapalooza and brought Peach Tree Rascals and the artist John Kay to Dartmouth! The concert was amazing; my friends and I were right at the front and we even got to meet them!

     

  2. No. 2

    Game Day

    Football Game

    My first football game ever! Dartmouth was playing against Valparaiso on Saturday the 17th and I was able to watch it with my friends; which was a completely new and different experience for me. We even got free Dartmouth bucket hats and pom-poms to cheer for the team (Dartmouth won!)

     

  3. No. 3

    Bowling Birthday

    Bowling

    It was two of my friends' birthdays so we drove down to a bowling alley near Dartmouth to celebrate! The roads around Dartmouth are so scenic, with the leaves just beginning to turn as fall is around the corner. The drive was beautiful and I got three strikes at bowling!
