sometimes there was a lot of standing around awkwardly (but this is probably since i'm rather socially inept), but the lectures were great! i was so happy they had paradiso and stein give talks since i want to study neuroscience.
also the campus was really pretty, minus the construction.

My thoughts echo a lot of what has been on this thread. I had an OK time at ADOCH, but I just loved Dimensions. Before visiting both, I was heavily favoring Brown, but after attending both programs, I was really feeling like I would love Dartmouth. All the kids there seemed to LOVE being there. It's possible that I felt more positively toward Dartmouth than Brown because I spent two nights there instead of just one, though. And at Dimensions, my host was amazing and very informative, but at Brown, they were just OK. They pretty much said, "If you need anything or have any questions, ask." But at Dartmouth, my host was constantly telling me about amazing parts of Dartmouth, and she spent a lot of time just talking with me about the school and about other things.

But like ClaySoul said, I know these programs aren't a perfect indicator of how great the school will be.

Also, I went to parties at both Brown and Dartmouth, but the one I went to at Brown seemed pretty lame. It was in these crappy little rooms, with all the lights on, and the floor sticky and gross. And people weren't even dancing, they were just pouring drinks and kinda walking around. Is that typical of frat parties?

Yes. So I'm guessing they're usually better than that?

Tuesday's are not big party nights, particularly since ADOCH was post-spring weekend which tends to be a big party weekend.
