Making Friends at Dartmouth
My birthday is so special to me! It is a day I get to celebrate my life with the people I love and cherish the most. So, one of my biggest worries coming to college was: on my birthday—merely one month after I arrived at Dartmouth—would I already have close friends to celebrate with? The answer was yes!
By the first couple of weeks, I had met a wonderful, tight-knit community and so many friendships arose from it. I got to celebrate my birthday with a surprise picnic, where my friends baked and decorated cupcakes and made special desserts from my home country like Bridageiro (it was delicious!). Not only that, but they also planned a surprise dinner at one of the restaurants in town. They made me feel so special!
I was so grateful to be surrounded by such incredible people so fast. That is what the Dartmouth community is like and making friends here is one of the easiest things to do.

I can very happily say that I did, and it is so much better than I could have ever imagined. The academic opportunities Dartmouth offers were a huge motivator for my choice and I had the opportunity to explore some of them throughout my classes this first term. Since we only have to declare our majors by the end of our Sophomore winter, even though I feel very confident I will study Environmental Engineering, I got to challenge that notion and explore diverse interests. Therefore, this term I chose to take MATH 3, Psychology 1, and Humanities 1.
MATH 3: Calculus I
I chose this class for a very simple reason: it's a prerequisite. For most STEM classes you will need calculus, so, considering I want to be an engineer, this was a pretty clear choice for me. However, what I expected to be a simple class on calculus I was already familiar with, turned out to be a great demonstration of community at Dartmouth. Because of this class, I w
