In honor of it being one year since matching to Dartmouth through the QuestBridge National College Match, I wanted to share my experience with the college application process!

As finals approach and my countdown for winter break, I reflect on my first term here as a Dartmouth student–the traditions, classes, routines, and connections that have defined my first-year fall.

Since our first concert of the year just passed, here is my first-year fall experience as a member of the 2022 Dartmouth College Wind Ensemble to any prospective musicians!

As I near my eighth week of being a Dartmouth student, I prepare for two more weeks of my first-year fall and reflect on an eventful weekend where I experienced both Homecoming and Halloween back-to-back at the College on the Hill!

To prepare prospective students for what exactly to expect as an undergraduate student here at the College on the Hill, follow me on a fall day in my life: Monday edition!

To East Coast Flora and the Greenery of the Big Green,
You have given me the space to breathe and relax, and I've learned to admire you, and "the granite of New Hampshire," more than I could have ever expected.

"What even is a First-Year Trip?" Leading up to my trek into the wilderness, I did not expect to be immersed in campus culture and community nearly as much as I was. This is my First-Year Trips experience with D751: Cabin Camping and Performing Arts!

Inhale the clean scent of nature and observe the flamboyant fall foliage of Hanover as I welcome you to my neck of the woods! My name is Brendilou, a member of Dartmouth's Class of '26, and this is my first blog post! Let's get to know each other.
