It's Homecoming Weekend!
Happy Homecoming Weekend!
It finally feels like fall in Hanover! The crisp mornings and evenings are making me super excited for the leaves to finally change colour. Fall is my favourite season, and fall in Hanover makes me extremely excited. I thought that I would share the itinerary of my "ideal" fall weekend in Hanover - Homecoming Weekend! Homecoming is an incredible Dartmouth tradition - many alumni come back "home" and everyone on campus is bonded together by their love of our school. Here's what my ideal Homecoming weekend looks like:
Sunday: Sunday morning is a great time for a hike to the Gile Mountain Fire Tower. From the top, you can see an incredible view of the White Mountains and beautiful fall foliage! After Gile Mountain, we head to Riverview Farm in Plainfield, NH. Riverview is a great place to visit in the fall because you can pick your own apples and pumpkins. There is also a corn maze which is such a fun fall activity. Homecoming Weekend is a time to explore and reconnect with the College and the surrounding areas. Being able to spend time with Dartmouth alumni, professors, fellow students and their families is a constant reminder to me of how special this place and this community is. Homecoming reminds me of how incredibly fortunate I am to be apart of the Dartmouth College family. -Jul
