I went to both ADOCH and Dimensions, and I definitely liked the social scene at Dartmouth better. The drinking rep at dartmouth is the same as the smoking rep at brown…not a fan of either, but i’m sure they are overstating both.

I think now I’m mainly concerned about med school placement. I’ve heard that the chem department is ridiculously hard at both, but that at dartmouth, the grade is really based on 3 tests. Is it the same for Brown? Also, the avg GPA is higher at Brown, but do you think this means grades are inflated more, people just work harder than at Dartmouth, a combo of both, or none of the above?
