If you accept the stereotypes, Dartmouth has more drinking and Brown has more drug use (though I’d imagine there’s a good amount of use of each at each college). There exist substance free floor you can live on and be with like-minded people, and you’ll find other not on such floor who don’t drink/smoke either. I will admit that the cigarette smoke on campus bothers me quite a bit (I’m very sensitive to it), and no one (police officers included) obeys the 50 ft. from a building rule, it seems.

In the end, I decided that Dartmouth wasn’t right for me, but I was looking at very different things than you were, and I sincerely doubt they’d influence your opinion. Have you visited each? Did you like one college’s feel over the other? How important is the Open Curriculum to you? After pre-med courses, you’ll still have quite a few spots to take courses. Do you prefer semesters or Dartmouth’s more-flexible quarter system? Brown has numerous research opportunities for undergrads in sciences, though I have no sense of how those opportunities are for Dartmouth.
