Favorite Class: Coloring BrazilThis 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.

Favorite Class: Creativity and CollaborationA 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.'

Favorite Class: Introduction to ItalianHaving 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!
WinterHanover
Favorite Class: History of the British EmpireThis 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!

Favorite Class: MacroeconomicsI LOVED this class. Macroeconomics is the reason I chose to study the subject, and this class reinforced how happy I am with that decision!

Here at dear old Dartmouth, you may have heard that we are extremely fond of traditions – this is true! Here are my thoughts on the value of our shared experiences.

Keeping fit at Dartmouth as a non-athlete!
Dartmouth has pretty intimidating athletic statistics, with 25% of our students being varsity athletes and 75% being involved in athletics at large! I'm here to hopefully make it seem less intimidating!
