| Dartmouth vs. Penn
After visited and researching lots of colleges, I've realized that my favorite two colleges are Penn and Dartmouth.
I really want to apply early decision to one of them and am really confused on which one I should apply to ED. Help!

My son is a Freshman and attending Penn in the EE program. He has found the school very friendly and is fitting in really well. The academics for the EE degree are tough, but seem to be manageable. Dartmouth is a great school too, but if you want the added advantage of a big city, with pro sports and great museums, etc., I'd choose Penn.

Heh. Well to complement Penndad's points: Dartmouth has by far the best community in terms of students and alumni connections, the epitome of the college feel, I have no idea where the sports comment came from; Dartmouth's fall sports are ok (with the exception of soccer, which is amazing) but the winter sports are all top, for obvious reasons, and also probably the best student-prof connections/relations out of any college just because the profs are there specifically to teach undergrads, not do their own research.

MYS, he referred to PRO sports. Like the Phillies and the Eagles. To some people, that's important. To others, it isn't.

I had the same problem of deciding between Penn and Dartmouth too. They're completely different schools though - Dartmouth is smaller with a class size of 1,000 or less while Penn's is much larger. Penn is in a city if you like the city life; Dartmouth is the epitome of a small-knit, safe college campus. Freshmen really get the royal treatment at Dartmouth. In the end that's the school I chose and I wouldn't trade it for the world. You really get the full undergraduate experience and get to meet amazing people and professors.

I am deciding b/w Dartmouth and Wharton (and other schools, including Brown, WUSTL, JHU, Northwestern, LACs, etc). I like Dartmouth the most right now!!!  | |

Education quality-wise...there is no comparison between Wharton and Dartmouth. You'll be set after Wharton. Dartmouth, who knows?

Yeah, if you go to Dartmouth, you might just find yourself homeless and without a job. Be very careful which school you choose.
