Dartmouth students get around. I know someone on every continent right now (not so much Antarctica ... people just choose to stay in Hanover since our average winter temperatures are ten degrees warmer).
Wait. Does one really leave the bubble while on an LSA/FSP? Isn't more like transplanting Dartmouth into the bush of South Africa or Campo de' Fiori in Rome? Regardless of location, Dartmouth students do some amazing things while at the College independently or not. I'm totally intimidated by the girl in my geography class who worked to revolutionize healthcare in India. That '06 who spearheaded relief efforts in Biloxi, Mississippi awes me too. I try not to let my awe and amazement of my fellow students keep me confined to the bubble. I'm working on that.
Things I missed while fighting off aggressive Italian males last term:
1."Jack and Diane" playing on the Collis radio station. Nothing gets me going in the morning like Collis Baked Goods and John Mellencamp.
2.Those huge Novack Chocolate Chip Cookies.
3.Rain in January.
I lied about the last one.
