By (Wellesley College) - abroad from 01/05/2026 to 06/07/2026 with

Dartmouth College: New Hampshire - Domestic Exchange Program

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Studying domestically at a different colleges made me realize that the cultures and student bodies at different colleges are truly different, but each in their own unique way. It was worthwhile to learn about how students at Dartmouth viewed their college experience, compare it to my own, and realize that we all had unique yet fulfilling college experiences.
