The second and final post of my "Why Dartmouth?" story. Reflecting on my decision to attend and move to Dartmouth College!

Behold the answer to the question I have been trying to find a concrete answer to for quite some time… "Why Dartmouth, Gavin?" (Part 1)

As Dartmouth prepares to welcome the incoming Class of 2026 this fall, I was inspired to interview Professor Doyle and understand what makes Dartmouth such a unique and exciting community from a professor's perspective.

Why Dartmouth? Academics, definitely, is not everything.

More than just "good academics"

Wow, I can't believe that it's been over 30 months since I was writing my application to Dartmouth as a high school senior. Today, I'll go line by line to see how my "Why Dartmouth?" essay has evolved over these past two years.

I thought about how I would attack as I paced from corner to corner, my head as vacant as an empty bottle. The crumpled-up drafts on the floor just added to my nervousness, but I needed to write a 'Why Dartmouth' essay. How? I had no idea.

It's decision time, and you're probably terrified. This is why I picked Dartmouth and how you should pick the school right for you!

Decision day is just around the corner, and many of you are still considering your decision. I obviously chose Dartmouth, and I continue "choosing" Dartmouth for several reasons.
