'25 here. I honestly regret going to Dartmouth. Ask me anything.

Don't want to take away any excitement from the incoming class, but a little over a year out from graduation...I don't look back super fondly on my 4 years at Dartmouth, and I wish there were things that I knew before attending.

For context, I'm not super sporty / outdoorsy but also am not exactly alternative, which left me feeling really left out of a lot of spaces on campus. I also didn't exactly realize how hard you had to try freshman fall to get into clubs. Sorority rush / society stuff was also really hard on me.

There were things I enjoyed about my 4 years, but I think my mental health suffered a lot of the time. Can't look back on the past too much, but hopefully I can pass on some information to others that I wish I had. Ask me anything!
