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!

    • SummerRome, Italy

      Favorite Class: ITAL 4 Reading Rome

      As a part of my language study abroad in Italy, I also took a class on Italian history and culture! We went on field trips to the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, participated in walking tours of Rome, and watched a lot of great cinema in this class! I loved it so much that I decided to minor in Italian.

    • FallHanover

      Favorite Class: CLST 6 Classical Archaeology

      This class, in addition to being a pre-requisite for both my major and my spring study abroad, was super interesting! I loved learning about archaeology in a chronological sequence, and I feel so much more prepared for my trip to Greece after completing this class.

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!

    A view of Florence from the top of the Duomo. In the distance, you can see the Basilica of Santa Croce.

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

    A photo of my friend, Gemma, taking a photo of The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli

    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.

    A photo of the front of Florence's Opera di Santa Maria. There are many people in the square outside taking photos and admiring the building.

    Florence was packed with tourists, but our trip was still super fun! The city was extremely walkable, which made it easy to explore on our own.

    A photo of Florence's skyline just before sunset, with a crane partially obstructing the view. There are also trees and bushes in the foreground of the photo.

    On my hike up to a sunset picnic at Piazzale Michelangelo, I saw this beautiful view of the city! It was interesting to see a crane block my view of the skyline—a reminder that even though Florence is known for its role during the Renaissance, it also functions as a modern city
