Lauren's D-Plan

What's a D-Plan?

    • FallHanover, NH

      Favorite Class: WRIT 5 Deus et Machina: Sports, Science and Ethics

      I took this class as part of Dartmouth's first year writing requirement. We read a pro cyclist's life narrative, discussed research papers on controversial topics in sports, and wrote our own papers on a contentious sports technology of our choice. I really enjoyed this course's emphasis on discussion, and the small class size!

    • WinterHanover

      Favorite Class: CLST 11.17 Greek Athletics

      This was my first class in the classics department, which was super exciting as a classical studies major! We learned about the ancient Olympics and the connections between athletics and other aspects of ancient Greek society. I loved the final project in this class, which involved creating an argument about how the ancient pentathlon was scored!

    • SpringHanover

      Favorite Class: LAT 3 Latin 3

      To conclude my language requirement, I took Latin 3! This class was super exciting because we began to read ancient texts and poetry. We also took a class trip to the Rauner Special Collections library so we could physically handle and read some manuscripts. And as an added bonus, Latin counts as a prerequisite for my classical studies major!

Places I Miss at Dartmouth

As much as I love studying abroad on Dartmouth's Full Immersion in Rome Italian program, I also really miss campus! Here's a look back at some of the places I can't wait to get back to soon.

  1. No. 1

    Shattuck Observatory

    The road beside Shattuck Observatory just before sunset. There are many clouds in the pastel sky, and the trees in the background are barren.

    Although I’ve never been into Shattuck Observatory, I want to check it out soon during one of the monthly public observing nights. The park near the observatory is also beautiful!

  2. No. 2

    The Stacks!

    Rows of bookcases in the basement stacks. At the end of the row, a student is studying at a desk facing the wall.

    I never thought I’d miss the stacks—but I do! Although they aren’t the most beautiful place to study, they provide the perfect environment for “locking in” on assignments, something that’s been difficult for me to replicate while studying abroad in Rome for the summer.

  3. No. 3

    Alumni Gym's Pickleball Courts

    Two students playing pickleball on a cloudy day. The student closer to the camera is half visible and facing away, while the one further away is lunging for the ball with his paddle.

    As a tennis player in high school, I never thought I’d give in to the pickleball trend. That being said, I have to admit—it’s a fun game, especially with friends. I’m incredibly grateful for Dartmouth’s pickleball courts, and the free equipment that is provided to play with!

Fun in Firenze

A few photos from my trip to Florence as a part of the Dartmouth F.I.R.E. Italian study abroad program!

    After 463 steps, we reached the top of the Duomo and were greeted by an excellent view of the entire city

    The Uffizi Gallery was full of masterpieces!

    An upward shot of an intricately painted basilica ceiling. The ceiling is octagonal and decorated with religious imagery.

    The ceiling inside the Basilica de San Lorenzo was breathtaking! In the basilica, many prominent members of Florence’s Medici family are buried.
