Before applying to Dartmouth, I had never visited the campus, nor did I know anyone personally who attended the school. Yet, through my research and conversations with current students, I felt confident enough to apply early.
In August, I participated in the First Year Summer Enrichment Program, a pre-orientation program designed to help FGLI students adjust to life at Dartmouth!
The adventures of a South Asian girl, approximately 13,718km away from home, shivering in weather that apparently "isn't that cold" and navigating college as a first-generation student! Welcome to the story of my life at Dartmouth.
I played out several scenarios in my head speculating how my first term of college would go throughout high school. In hindsight, those scenarios weren't the reality, and I think Dartmouth greatly contributed to that.
