Shuyi's D-Plan
What's a D-Plan?-
FallHanover
Favorite Class: WRIT 005: Inclusion, Diversity, and Higher EducationI actually wasn't planning on taking this class but it eventually became my favorite class. The professor was very funny and created a relaxed classroom environment where I enjoyed looking at diversity in different contexts, such as college admissions and group dynamics.

Favorite Class: CLST 07.06: Pessimism and HappinessThis class was a perfect mix of philosophy, classical studies, and writing. We were able to reflect on societal views, our own ideas of optimism and pessimism, and how we can lead more fulfilling and compassionate lives.
SpringMontreal
Favorite Class: COSC 10: Problem Solving via Object Oriented ProgrammingMy first experience with computer science was my Freshman winter, and I quickly became interested in the subject. I followed up CS1 with CS10 in the Spring, which I found just as cool. I love how you can solve problems by applying logic and math with computer science, and I look forward to diving deeper into the major!

Favorite Class: ECON 21: MicroeconomicsEcon 21 is required for all Econ majors, and I loved my experience with Professor Gustman. He made the material super easy to digest and allowed me to take exams in my timezone, which I thought was really nice.
WinterShanghai
Favorite Class: SPEE 20: Public SpeakingIt was really interesting to study public speaking in an asynchronous environment, and I came away with a deeper understanding of not only public speaking but speech writing. I wrote a separate blog post about the class, so check it out!
SpringShanghai
Favorite Class: ENGL 34: From Anna Christie to Hamilton (and Donald Trump)Since English was one of my favorite classes in high school, I wanted to take another writing course at Dartmouth. This was a great choice, as it was a perfect mix of lecture and discussion. I loved reading and learning about several American dramas, and even discussing modern topics such as Trump's rhetoric!
SummerShanghai
I took my Sophomore Summer off, which many international students do, and got involved with the Tuck School of Business through the Bridge and Paganucci programs! You can read more about my summer experiences in my blogs!

Favorite Class: QSS30.18: Quantitative Approaches to Peace and JusticeThis was my first class from the QSS department, which was long overdue considering that I'm a QSS major! I really enjoyed picking up some coding skills and tackling problems like transitional justice with quantitative approaches.
WinterHanover
Favorite Class: ECON35: Games and Economic BehaviorI took Econ 25 in the Fall, and Econ 35 was the next course in the game theory sequence! It was really fun to apply game theory to cool concepts like sports, Covid-19, and auctions.
SpringHanover
Favorite Class: MUS03.06: Sound Relations: Indigenous Musical PerspectivesThis was my first time taking a music class even though I have been involved with music my entire life, whether that was playing the piano or learning how to make beats. I loved this class because I not only learned more about music, but more about Native culture as well!
SummerNew York
I took my junior summer off to pursue a management consulting internship in New York. I had a wonderful experience!

Favorite Class: THEA15: Classical and Medieval PerformanceI absolutely loved this class! Theatre was one of my favorite classes in middle school, and so it was great to reconnect with theatre again in college. The professor was amazingly kind and passionate, and the final project was a really fun group performance!

How easy is it to ski at Dartmouth?
No matter your experience or budget, I'm sure you can make skiing a fun part of your winter Dartmouth experience if you would like. So how easy is it to ski at Dartmouth? I couldn't imagine it being easier!

An adventure on campus!
I decided to take a walk with some of my friends before Homecoming to take a small break before the big weekend.

My Fall Classes
I'm not taking any major classes this quarter, which means I have the opportunity to explore different interests!

Junior Summer in New York!
Most people take junior summer off to pursue an internship or research opportunity, which is what I did this past summer.

Congratulations to the Class of 2022!
I want to share with you all the kind of friends that you can expect to make at Dartmouth.

My First Spring Ever!
After six out of the ten weeks of the Spring quarter has passed, I can tell you with certainty that Spring is one of the best terms I've had at Dartmouth so far.

My first Spring at Dartmouth!
Because of Covid-19, this is my first Spring spent on-campus! Therefore, I'm experiencing it for the first time with my '25 residents, and it's been wonderful so far. Let me introduce you to the Spring!

A Day in the Life!
Although there are already several blog posts that give you a glimpse of daily life at Dartmouth (in addition to a few great Dartmouth YouTubers), I thought I would offer my "a day in the life" blog post as well!

Winter Weekend at the Dartmouth Skiway!
This past weekend, I decided to go with some friends to the Dartmouth Skiway. I had already gone earlier this term and was amazed at how convenient and affordable the whole experience was. Therefore, I decided I had to go back again!
