<p>I have very fond memories of my undergrad years at Harvard. The friendships that I made at school have been enduring and have greatly enriched my life. For me, I’d have to say that college was less about the courses/professors/institution and more about my classmates/friends.</p>
<p>That being said, if I had applied to Dartmouth, been accepted, and chosen to matriculate there, I have no doubt that I would have gotten a great deal out of that experience as well.</p>
<p>Your college experience is what you make of it. I’d recommend choosing either of the two schools and never looking back. Both are great colleges. Each has its own personality. I can see the attraction to the location of the Dartmouth campus, but the Boston area has a great deal to offer as well.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
