Dartmouth College is known for its small, tight-knit community and town, which takes some adjustment for some who didn't grow up in rural areas. So, what is Dartmouth like for those of us who grew up in small communities? Let me share my experience!
As my first month at Dartmouth has passed, I am gradually getting used to — while a little struggling with — the brisk pace of classes.
The time away from Dartmouth allowed me to explore various academic and professional pursuits, and also gave me time to remember how much I love the pursuit of knowledge.
To all prospective students who may be reading this, deciding on where to apply to college and where to commit is one of the most difficult decisions. I highly recommend you to take a step back to look at the amenities your university would provide.
When I applied to college, I was dead set on studying only music and neuroscience. However, I now say go take that course that has nothing to do with your major and maybe find a new passion.
While touring schools the summer before my senior year, the freshmen I talked to gushed all about Dartmouth's collaborative atmosphere. Now as a current sophomore, I thought I'd share how students here genuinely want to help lift each other up!
This term, I'm taking 2 STEM classes, which has been an unexpected but enriching experience!
