Antônio's D-Plan
What's a D-Plan?
Being Christian at Dartmouth!
I realised many of my posts relate to different parts of my identity: being multiracial, being Latino, being queer, and much more. But here, I seem to have never talked about being Christian!

A Tropical Heart in Hanover!
This is my survival guide to being a tropics boy at Dartmouth!
- No. 1
Make yourself at home!
In my new room, I am very lucky to have a lot of space to decorate. I filled my walls with posters and finally got my plants back from Catharine, my friend who was serving as a host mom while I was away. No doubts I've managed to make this place look, smell, and feel like home. This is a big differential when trying to survive the outside weather!
- No. 2
Commit to activities, even if indoors!
For me, this one item is a bit of a two-birds-one-stone situation. Although I've decided to not dance this term, I am taking vinyasa yoga classes, which count towards my PE credit! Yes, Dartmouth students have to take PE courses, but this is more fun than it sounds, I promise!
- No. 3
Surround yourself with your support network!
Bring your friends into the scene!
One of the reasons I decided to drop my second FSP and not stay abroad for three terms was having realised that it would have been too much time away from the people I care about. I needed to be here this term, both for them and for myself :)

See you next year!
Honestly, I cannot wait to be home. Although Dartmouth has been a home for me for the past nine months, the college experience is made of many ups and downs. Come check my first year wrap-up!

Oh, to being a sophomore!
Honestly, it was hard for me to picture myself in an Ivy League. As I start to meet the incredible people who constitute the class of 2026, the idea that, in three weeks, my last term as a freshman will to an end, shocks me.

Sunny days are here!
Now that the winter is officially over, I have been finding a lot of joy in rediscovering Hanover's unique beauty under much sunlight. Spring has officially sprung!

A walk to the Montshire Museum of Science!
At Dartmouth, we are lucky to live in an extremely scenic environment. Among all the fun activities one can find in and out of campus, my favourite has to be visiting the Montshire Museum of Science!

The party scene!
As some of you may have heard about, Dartmouth is known for its prominent party culture. As someone who particularly enjoys that aspect of college life, I was really excited to arrive to Hanover and start going out with my newly made friends.

Choosing Dartmouth!
I can name you thousands of reasons why I decided to come to Dartmouth – from the natural landscape to the academic rigour, this is exactly the college I dreamt about as a high school student.
