As much as we love Hanover, we also love to get the hell out of here. Studying, volunteering, eating snails -- anything to leave our tiny campus and see the world.
Turns out, you can't take us anywhere. We have a knack for getting ourselves into sticky situations while overseas and complaining when things don't go according to plan. One minute we're streaking when we shouldn't be, the next minute we can't explain the terd in our shower, and to make things worse we have to ditch the Cocker Spaniel that we bought for $20 on the streets of Morocco at customs. At least it's better than festering in frat basement purgatory.
This week's Mirror takes a look at the breadth of experiences that Dartmouth students find overseas: volunteering, finding our own programs and, of course, braving the ubiquitous Language Study Abroad and Foreign Study Programs.
Complaints, laughs, beds that smell like cat piss -- we've got it all.
