Autumn Dinh

In a span of two weeks, I’ve done much more cool things and made friends with much more people than I usually did in a typical term at Dartmouth.

We usually decide the topic of our events based on the dish that our members want to make.

Since the winter term, I have been involved with many programs at the Tuck School of Business, such as TuckLab, Tuck Incubators, and Tuck professors’ research projects.

I used to attend a lot of Model UN conferences in high school. I was in love with the intense debates. I was thrilled at the new knowledge I was able to learn. And above all, I felt grateful for the friendships I made during each conference.

I was the first in my family to ever study abroad in America, so I was clueless about everything.

Dorsey sensei (our very cool faculty director of the LSA) also spent a lot of work to make sure that we have a chance to connect to Japanese students at Kanda.

Yessss! I'm finally in Tokyo!! I just moved into my host family's this afternoon, but in the first two days,  the whole squad and I stayed at a really nice hotel and visited most of the tourist-y places around Tokyo.

It's amazing how this felt very scary at the beginning of this term, but now I can easily write a 11-page move script in Japanese with barely any help from Google Translate or any kind of dictionary.

Last Wednesday, we had a very unique Japnaese LSA+ (study abroad) orientation: we had a Skype conference with a group of Japanese students from Kanda University, the university that will host us this sum

It's North Park House's spirit week!!
