With a max word count of 100, my cursor blinked mockingly at me. I already knew I wanted to attend Dartmouth, and I knew why—I wanted the small tight-knit community, the beautiful campus, and most importantly, the vibe that campus radiated to me.
I am writing this blog post as I enter week 9 of my spring term. The weather is so sunny, refreshing, and awesome (it reminds me a lot of the weather in California). I am dedicating this post as a reflection on my week 8.
Some of you planning to attend Dartmouth as international students may be thinking, "How will I celebrate the family weekend at Dartmouth?" Isn't it something I need a family for? How will my family get to Dartmouth from the far ends of the earth?

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?

How do you build relationships with professors at Dartmouth?

What is an LLC? How do they work and how can I join one? What sorts of events do LLCs host?
