My freshman summer, I am working at a nonprofit in San Francisco, learning about the realm of real estate, art, and social change in the Bay Area.

Wondering how to choose your very first set of classes?

While I was doing everything by myself for the first time with little guidance, it felt like everyone else had a handbook that told them who to meet, where to be, and what to do.

What do Dartmouth students do during the summer? How do we fill our time? And perhaps most importantly, how does the D-Plan fit into how Dartmouth students conceptualize our times off of school?

Here are 5 weird, small, and perhaps surprising things that make Dartmouth home for me.

I wasn't planning on taking any COSC courses once I got to college, but with coronavirus happening my freshman spring term and all grading being moved to P/F, I decided to give it a go!

With my last freshman term at Dartmouth now halfway over, I've been thinking about my academic path and what it is going to look like going forward.

Since coming home, I've missed a lot about Dartmouth: my friends, activities I was a part of, and even just the physical campus itself. One thing I didn't expect to miss was the Upper Valley.

So how does one choose where to go to college?

Welcome to a whole new term of Dartmouth craziness, brought to you via Zoom, copious amounts of stress, and a healthy stash of quarantine snacks. One thing that has helped me a lot during this time has been connecting with all the '24s!
