<p>I like the community at Dartmouth. When I visited each campus, I found Dartmouth much warmer and friendlier than Harvard. I like that Dartmouth is virtually all undergrads, and that almost all classes are taught by professors. In essence, I feel like Dartmouth cares more about its undergrads and consequently could provide a happier and more engaging undergrad experience. Granted, Harvard is Harvard, and there’s no doubt that the caliber of the student body, guest speakers, and university resources are superior to those at Dartmouth. My impressions could be off-base, and that’s what I’m worried about.</p>
<p>I would major in Social Studies at Harvard, which (imo) is more suitable for me than Dartmouth’s Government/Public Policy major/minor combo.</p>
