“There is no better way to promote peace in our world than for young people to immerse themselves in different cultures, getting to know new people and expanding their worldview firsthand.” - Frank J.

Frank J. Guarini ’46, a former New Jersey congressman and U.S. representative to the United Nations, has committed $10 million to support Dartmouth’s off-campus and foreign study programs—adding to an earlier commitment of $10 million for a total endowment commitment of $20 million to Dartmouth.
What does this mean for Dartmouth students? New opportunities for students to study in countries around the world, learn from people across many cultures, and expand their expertise in language, diplomacy, and global issues across the spectrum of arts and sciences. Dartmouth is already among the top in the Ivy League for study abroad participation, with 55 percent of Dartmouth undergraduates engaging in more than 40 off-campus learning opportunities in 29 countries.
It's officially been two weeks since I packed up and flew across the ocean to begin my study abroad program at the University of Edinburgh. Studying abroad has been on my college to-do list since high school.
Hello from Edinburgh, Scotland where I am settling into my apartment and exploring the city in preparation for my study abroad term! I will be spending this term (18F) studying at the University of Edinburgh's New College School of Divinity.
It's 10:53 and I'm writing this from a bench outside of my best friend's dorm room. I have a sweater on because it's cold, the type of cold that reminds you that fall is just around the corner.
I get a lot of questions from prospies and students at other colleges about what I do in my free time since Dartmouth is "so rural," and whether I'm bored in the summer without the Miami beaches that I'm used to.
