Best of luck in your college search!

I agree that some of the OP’s posts may seem as though they are being written by a youngster or parent in the midst of college search stress.

I had two students who considered Cornell and Dartmouth because both offered a clearly defined campus in a rural setting. One was from a NY high school where dozens go to Cornell and she wanted a completely new social scene. So Dartmouth was appealing. Another was from New England and he wanted to stay relatively close to home but still be away. He also felt Dartmouth offered more focus on college students rather than on graduate students.
