"Welcome Home." As a Dartmouth student, you hear and see that phrase almost constantly the residential life packet you receive in the mail before freshman Fall, that flashy banner that greets you when you arrive on Robo lawn for Trips. Even my Dartmouth Coach driver couldn't resist repeating the same phrase as I arrived in Hanover for 12W after a brief stint in London. And it doesn't stop even once you graduate from Dartmouth the "Welcome Home, Alumni" poster drapes the columns of Collis during every big weekend, just in case they forgot where to call "Home, Sweet Home." But in reality, regardless of how many different ways Dartmouth tries to make itself our home, not everyone comes to see it that way. This issue will look at the idea of finding a home at Dartmouth who finds it? Who doesn't? So whether you feel like you have just returned home or entered an industrial-sized meat freezer (or both), welcome to 12W! I'm Priya, your new Mirror editor!
