The first-generation community at Dartmouth is an extremely tight knit and supportive community! This past week, we celebrated first-gen week, with a myriad of activities and lots of chances to meet new people!

The college application and decision process can be difficult. Don't worry, I'm here for you! Come with me on my journey, and let your pal Gav explain.
