Amherst and Swat are better undergrad schools to me than Harvard and Yale.



Depends on what you want. Liberal arts colleges versus universities are a matter of fit, not educational quality.



To me Princeton is clearly the best undergrad school among HYP, yet it’s the least popular! Dartmouth should she the top rated undergrad ivy for it’s complete focus on undergrads, small classes and amazing study abroad and internship programs.



Based on student experiences, Yale fewer big lectures and more small seminars than Princeton. But I’ll agree with you about Dartmouth. It’s the best undergrad Ivy, though not clear winner it’s often made out to be.

Classes sizes: >50, <20, average class size

Yale: 40%, 38%, 74
Princeton: 47%, 33%, 85
Harvard: 55%, 26%, 120
Dartmouth: 34%, 36%, n/a
