Growing up, I attended Catholic school for seven years and attended mass almost every weekend, but I find that harder to maintain at Dartmouth. Between catching up on work (or recovering from the night before) it’s often a challenge to make the walk to Aquinas House every Sunday. As for Amita, she was raised Hindu, though her parents didn’t practice regularly. Not speaking the language has made it difficult for her to pursue her faith while in college, yet she tries to stick to the Hindu principles she learned as a child.
This week, the Mirror looks at religion and spirituality on campus. While many students find it difficult to stay in touch with their religions once they’ve left home, others have developed deeper relationships with their religions while at Dartmouth. Then there are some who choose not to practice any faith at all. Wherever you may fall on this spectrum, we hope this issue gives you a better understanding of religion and spirituality at Dartmouth.
