While the student body at the College may be relatively small, students here recognize that their vote can hold a lot of weight in New Hampshire, a classic swing state.
Dartmouth's Student Assembly has already run several voter registration drives, and I had the opportunity to vote early in my first presidential election ever at a town hall just last week. That's a moment I definitely won't forget!
I was definitely not expecting to be wearing an inflatable hamburger, running around the Green while bumping into my friend Levi, or making a makeshift banner at Collis, but it was super fun.
One of the things I enjoy most about college is the opportunity to experience a diversity of thought and opinion. My friends range across the political spectrum from red to blue and every shade of purple in between.
When I began planning for my life in Hanover, the issue of voting dawned on me. Which state would I vote for, how would I get registered, and where would I go for help?
