Dartmouth employs a unique quarter system in which most students are on campus in the summer between their sophomore and junior year, labeled "Sophomore Summer." But why did it start? And what are my plans for this notable term?
I am going into the seventh week of my term in Spain and enjoying it. This opportunity did not happen on a whim for me though, I was looking at this program when I was considering applying to Dartmouth. In this post I recommend a similar approach.
Sophomore summer is in full swing, and with the campus exclusively for sophomores, it's a vibrant and relaxed atmosphere. I'm on campus to enjoy this unique experience, diving into activities like cooking, research, and outdoor outings!
My first week in Spain has allowed me to discern distinct cultural differences. I have also been adapting to the time change, food, and speaking Spanish 24/7.
As an anthropology modified with global health major, I've taken 7 ANTH courses thus far! One of my favorites, amongst them all, was ANTH 9 (which I took this spring).
