Hi guys! The name's Tulio (yes, like the guy from Rio) Huggins, and I am a '23! I am from the beautiful state of Pennsylvania, where I have lived for the past couple of years. I am double majoring in History and English with a concentration in Creative Writing. In my free time, I love to hang out with friends at Dartmouth Apologia, my fraternity, and in Aquinas House! Feel free to ask any questions you might have. I hope that you all have a blessed day!

Hanging out with my fraternity brothers and hanging out in Aquinas House!
This history class is dedicated to investigating the history behind current events. In this term, we looked at the history behind immigration, Silicon Valley, and affirmative action. And in the final weeks of the term, we were able to choose what we wanted to learn about, and we chose to look at the history of impeachment. It is a very cool class with great class discussions. I would highly recommend!
COSC 1 is an intro to Computer Science course. I had never taken a CS course, so learning the new Python language was definitely tough! Even so, I learned so much about how to code, and the help provided by TAs and the professors is invaluable in this course!
This was the first class I ever took in the African and African American Studies and Religion Department. It opened my eyes to the various ways African Americans in the Jim Crow era survived when the world was stacked up against them. I would highly recommend!
An interesting class where we focused on the spread of literature during this time period. Also one of my smallest classes; only five other classmates!
This class was a creative writing class, and it gave me a lot of insight into what I as an author should want my readers to do when they confront the piece. It was an amazing class, and it was so cool to be able to take it in London!
My desire to learn about religion and history was thoroughly fulfilled in this class, where we looked at the various Christian conversions in different European areas. I learned a lot, and I really loved the prof's lectures!

I'm not taking any classes this term! Instead, I am doing a fellowship through the Leslie Center for Humanities, where I am writing an interconnected short story collection set in an evangelical church youth group.
This was my senior seminar for my history class, and we learned about the many Native American treaties that occurred for the centuries of US-Indigenous interaction
What's something you wish you knew about Dartmouth before attending?
A:
Coming to Dartmouth I did not realize how prominent Greek life is on campus. I had heard little about it when I applied and did not think I was going to be involved with it as a first-year (first-years cannot rush and wait until sophomore fall to rush). None of my family went to schools with Greek life, so I did not have any perception of what it would be like when I arrived. However, I did not know that about 60 percent of eligible students are affiliated here. Not only that, there are many non-Greek life events that are held in Greek spaces, such as acapella concerts and dance groups who perform. So Greek life has a big place at Dartmouth. The reason I wish that I knew about it before I applied was so I could gain a better picture of what Dartmouth's culture is like. And the reason I write about it is for prospective students to gain a fuller picture of what Dartmouth is like. Now, I say this as a student who is affiliated, and who is thankful for his experiences in Greek life and for the people I have met through it. But I know that is not always the case for people. I also know that not everyone is okay with applying to a school with a large Greek life. And that's okay! I want prospective students to make the right decision for themselves, and to have all the information when they make that decision. Of course, I might be a little biased and say Dartmouth is the best, but I think it is important that you find a school that you feel is your school and can be your home like Dartmouth is for me.
Through Dartmouth's Guarini Institute for International Study, I am getting to take classes and experience life at Wellesley College, an all-women's school!
