Hey all! So excited to see you here. My name is Sydney and I'm a '24 passionate about energy, education, the environment, and economic policy. I grew up in Southern California, but have also lived abroad in Gibraltar, Spain, and the Philippines. When not blogging or working at McNutt as a Senior Admissions Fellow, you can catch me involved in the Dartmouth Energy Alliance, Energy Justice Clinic, and Greek Life. I hope my blog can give you a window into Dartmouth from a student's perspective.

Majors in Economics and Environmental Studies, Minor in International Studies
It's officially the middle of winter — over four weeks since the start of the term, and over three since I flew across the U.S. to Hanover. This season is full of firsts; halfway into the term, I have already experienced my first blizzard, participated in my first giant snowball fight on the Green, bought my first sled, and ice skated for the first time in years (even played some ice hockey!). This weekend, I am excited to head to the Dartmouth Skiway and learn to ski with some friends on the bunny slopes to start as I look to improve as a skier over the next four years.
We so very wish you could step onto Dartmouth's campus yourself and witness the beauty of our winters before you, but COVID-19 has made visiting campuses extremely difficult. I would love to use this blog post to share some of my favorite photos I captured during this past snowy week. Grab a blanket, get comfortable, and follow along to visit campus virtually through my own personal lens and from the safety and comfort of wherever you are now!
Welcome back to Open Doors—your inside look at life in the Woods! This week, Isabelle Sullivan '26, an environmental studies and geography major, showed me around her room, where we discussed Dartmouth residence halls, classes, and campus life.
I've been blogging for almost two years now, and it's become one of my favorite extracurriculars on campus. Read on to hear why I've enjoyed it so much.
There was never a single "aha!" moment of clarity when I knew that Dartmouth was right for me, yet now, it is impossible for me to imagine having chosen anywhere else.
Green Key weekend at Dartmouth was filled with concerts, free food, live music, reunions, and spontaneous moments with friends. Read on to hear why this weekend reminded me what makes spring term at Dartmouth feel so special.
Amid the whirlwind of a ten-week term, the quietest moments — studying in the sun, cooking with a friend, running through Pine Park — turn out to be the ones worth savoring most.
