Welcome to the blog of an Englishman studying at Dartmouth—do take a look around! Hopefully, my blogs will provide you with an insight on life at Dartmouth, and specifically through the eyes of an international student. Dartmouth has a ton to offer from the staggering natural beauty of its surroundings and stellar academic programs to the wonderful people you meet along the way. So stay a while, I'll make us cups of tea, and take a moment to discover life at the College on the Hill.
This class was SO interesting... We dug into the history of racial inequality in Brazil, stretching from the advent of slavery to persisting modern societal issues.
A course that I took completely impulsively turned into one of the most formative experiences I have had at Dartmouth. Through physical mediums and theatre, I rediscovered what it meant to be 'creative.'
Having always had a hatred for learning languages, I was wary of the requirement to do so here at Dartmouth. In reality, though, I needn't have worried! I absolutely loved every minute of this class, and now I can speak pretty good Italian!
This class was extremely enlightening, and it was especially interesting to study as a British person. I felt as though I brought a unique perspective to the class, but also that I was learning a side of history which was brushed past in my GCSEs!
I spent this term completing research with Professor Cascio of the Economics Department. Our work was concerned with educational investment, and it was one of my best experiences of Dartmouth so far!
This course teaches all about the economics of the development of economies, focusing on many case studies concerning education, housing, healthcare, and more!
This introductory computer science class was an amazing and immersive experience which introduced me to concepts in coding that I had no previous experience with. Definitely a must at Dartmouth!
This is the advanced finance class at Dartmouth – as part of the finance track within the economics major, I was lucky enough to take this class which gave me an incredibly deep understanding of financial markets and intermediaries, and expanded a lot on my knowledge of corporate finance.
I was fortunate enough to be able to intern at Citi over the summer – this was an incredibly enlightening experience, and well-placed me to begin a career in the industry.
I was lucky enough this term to take a class in the Tuck school of business. Here at Dartmouth, you can access these higher level business classes as an undergraduate!
This past Sunday, a few friends and I decided to fully embrace the fall season and headed to a nearby corn maze for some classic autumn fun. We'd heard great things about the local farm's maze, but it exceeded expectations! The weather was crisp and sunny—perfect for getting lost in rows of towering cornstalks.
The maze was trickier than I expected, with a few twists and turns that had us doubling back more than once. We teamed up and tried to navigate as best we could, laughing every time we realized we'd ended up right back where we started. It was the perfect blend of friendly competition and teamwork, and we all agreed that it made for an epic start to fall.
As we entered the corn maze, we were filled with excitement!
After we finally found our way out, we explored the farm's market, which was filled with seasonal produce and local goodies. I couldn't resist picking up some fresh honey and Vermont maple syrup. The honey had this beautiful amber color, and the person at the stand explained how each jar's flavor reflects the blossoms nearby, which felt like such a cool connection to the land. And the maple syrup—well, you just can't say no to that here in New England.
The farm store at the end was BEAUTIFUL
Now my pantry's stocked with some delicious local treats, and I'm already thinking about ways to use them. Pancakes, anyone? The whole day was such a perfect escape from campus and a reminder of why I love the fall season here. There's something so grounding about spending time outdoors, supporting local farms, and just soaking up the beauty of autumn with friends
In addition to blogging, I work as a Fellow for the Tucker Center, which focuses on promoting spiritual and ethical life on campus. As part of this role, I'm leading the Interfaith Alternative Spring Break Trip. Read on to learn more about my work!
