Hey! I'm Eva, a '25 from the suburbs of New York. Though pursuing engineering, I'm passionate about combining my interests in medicine and art within my studies. When I'm not working on problem sets at Baker Library, you can find me playing guitar with my floormates, scouring the internet for local concerts, or utilizing nap spots in the Tower Room. I love Dartmouth for being the perfect place for someone with infinite interests and I hope this blog inspires a similar sentiment!

Biomedical Engineering major with a Human Centered Design minor
Hello and welcome to the beginning of my Dartmouth journey! Whether you're a current high school senior drawn to Dartmouth's glorious green, a parent looking to learn more about an authentic college experience, or my mom (Hello! I made it!), you're in the right place. As most introductions start, my name is Eva and I'm a '25 from Albany NY on the biomedical ab+be track with academic interests in studio art, public policy, and anthropology. I'm a huge outdoors person and love all nature based activities, including but not limited to: newt finding, stream wading, kayaking, bird watching, and boogie boarding. Though I'm most at home outdoors, I'm a huge poetry and art history nerd, so I'm already looking forward to the hours I'll be spending at the Hop.
When applying to colleges, Dartmouth found me before I found it. One of the friends I'd been close with since preschool (who also ended up attending), asked me to write a peer letter of recommendation for his Dartmouth application. A peer letter of recommendation was something I'd never heard of before so of course I had to look into the school a bit further. What I found changed the game for me. Dartmouth was the first school that wanted to know everything about who I truly was. Not just the student, but the daughter, friend, and teenager.

Now that I'm on campus, I can confidently say that this extra consideration worked to create an incredibly curious, diverse, and passionate class. During first year trips, I danced around a field in the mountains with hundreds of others and saw every single person enjoying the fun; I hiked 3 hours with people I had just met purely because we were curious about what was on the other side of a hill; I searched for shooting stars (which are absolutely breathtaking here in comparison to NY) with a new friend because we had nothing else to do. I could go on and on about the D-plan, research opportunities, academic flexibility, and career fairs, but that's not why I chose Dartmouth. I chose Dartmouth because of the people it attracts, and I'm so excited to see where they lead me.
Catching dragonflies at the Organic Farm during my Agroecology lab, plunging feet first into the Connecticut River after class, and exploring the Upper Valley by electric scooter… all in one day! Welcome to Sophomore Summer.
Memorial Day weekend held so many memories for me as the term begins to wrap up. One of those was DOC formal, a dance put on by the biggest club at Dartmouth!
I wanted to make my last blog post for this academic year about the places in the Dartmouth community that I will deeply miss and have made amazing memories with the wonderful members of this community.
