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!

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!
