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: Public Speaking – SPEE 20I have literally not got enough space on the entire disk drive of my laptop to store all of my feelings about how amazing this class is, but you HAVE to take it here.
