A snapshot of the long excursions during my LSA program in Spain via captioned photos.

As I head into the final week of my LSA in Spain, I want to share my reflections on finding balance while taking four classes and being immersed in a language in another country.

I am going into the seventh week of my term in Spain and enjoying it. This opportunity did not happen on a whim for me though, I was looking at this program when I was considering applying to Dartmouth. In this post I recommend a similar approach.

My first week in Spain has allowed me to discern distinct cultural differences. I have also been adapting to the time change, food, and speaking Spanish 24/7.

As my first year at Dartmouth comes to a close, I am interviewing my peers who lived in the interfaith LLC (Living Learning Community) with me.

I lived on the same dorm floor as the GIS LLC (Living Learning Community) this year. I asked some of my floormates about their experience with it so that you can hopefully get a holistic sense of what GIS is like!

As my first year at Dartmouth comes to an end, I am looking back at my experience with Great Issues Scholars, a first-year program with the Dickey Center for International Understanding.

Sometimes in my courses I find myself thinking, "Hey that seems familiar!" I think it speaks to Dartmouth professors' ability to cover a broad range of relevant topics and the interdisciplinary nature of the College.

At Dartmouth, there is an undergraduate requirement for language; after all, it is the liberal arts! Fulfilling this requirement looks different for various people and I will focus on my experience.

In addition to houses of worship, we went to museums and organizations during our week in DC.
