Cornell: unique mix of Ivy League college of arts & sciences and public land grant university (with a top agriculture school, excellent engineering and architecture programs, etc., in addition to liberal arts)
Dartmouth: isolated, rural New Hampshire location. Outdoor Programs, Winter Carnival. Unusually small for a university with 19 graduate arts & science programs, plus medical, business, and engineering schools.
Harvard: relatively seamless integration into a relatively safe, walkable urban environment. Step through the gates and you are in the middle of Cambridge, a more attractive setting for students than what surrounds the other urban Ivies. (Yale, by comparison, is more like a castle fortress inside New Haven.)
Princeton: no medical, law, or business school; relatively limited range of grad school departments compared to Harvard and Yale.
