<p>Posted this under College Life, but didn’t get much of a response, unlike you cool Dartmouth people! When was the first time you had your first real “Dartmouth” experience and realized, “Wow… I’m really a Dartmouth student” and loved it?</p>
<p>I guess mine was freshman year bonfire… being a part of such a tradition was amazing.</p>
<p>But I think what really stood out was how excited I was to go back sophomore fall. My daddy drove me up and I was just bouncing up and down when I got off I-91 and saw first the Connecticut River, and the apartments, and the Green… I was just so excited to be “home.” He was actually a little offended! But that was when I realized without a doubt that I had made the right decision.</p>
