This Saturday I went to a Riverview Farm trip organized by the South House and North Park Housing Communities. Housing communities can be amazing ways to meet new people, create new memories, or just find fun things to do at Dartmouth!
When my friends told me that college feels like summer camp at first, I did not understand what they meant.
Dartmouth has a pre-orientation tradition of taking hundreds of incoming freshmen into the wilderness for several days for a program we call First Year Trips.
My name is Bryanna and I'm a '23 from Singapore (well, kinda, it's complicated).
In a span of two weeks, I’ve done much more cool things and made friends with much more people than I usually did in a typical term at Dartmouth.
Some of my friends and I decided to spend the day at the Quechee Gorge in Vermont, and it ended up being a great break from finals!
For those of you who do not know what trips are, it is a five-day excursion the Dartmouth Outing Club (DOC) sponsors that includes a laundry list of activities to choose from such as mountain biking (which I chose), hiking, sailing, and much more!
I know this sounds silly, but going into my junior fall, I was the most nervous I have ever been at Dartmouth: I was leading a First Year Trip.
This is the story of how I a) went on Trips, b) went on my first backpacking trip ever, and c) had the time of my life, all in 5 days.
