At other schools you could maybe use the machines in your senior year. But at Dartmouth I could use the [Thayer School Machine] shop as a freshman, so I thought this was better suited to me.
... the liberal arts experience—taking courses in economics, chemistry, acting, music—expanded my understanding of context and gave me the confidence to believe there wasn’t anything I couldn’t figure out.
I never would have thought that Dartmouth would be interested in a student like me, but when Dartmouth considers a person, it considers the whole person.
