Have you received funding from Dartmouth for research, a project, or a trip? If so, how did you find that funding and what did it enable you to do?
Yes! I've received funding from Dartmouth for a number of projects over the past few years. The first instance was for research my sophomore year, which I was conducting at the Geisel School of Medicine in a genetics lab.

I love food and cultural-oriented food as well, so what's there to eat at Dartmouth?
'53 Commons, otherwise commonly referred to as FoCo, is the main dining hall on campus. In fall term of your freshmen year, you will probably be frequenting FoCo habitually because of your first-year dining plan.
Hi. I was wondering if you guys have a newspaper. Also, if you don't have Journalism as a major or minor, can you still participate in the newspaper?

What are some out-of-state tips? Anything to know about moving in, weather, etc?
