Choosing Dartmouth!
I applied Early Decision to Dartmouth. I had no doubt this was the place I wanted to call home for the next four years of my life. And, do you know why?

My Experience with Interviews!
As I returned to campus this year, I was honoured to take on the role of International Student Ambassador. The part I have been enjoying the most of my work has been conducting interviews!

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!
