<p>If your daughter would like a city, and a “university” why is Dartmouth on the radar at all? </p>
<p>We made a memorable trek up there to visit. My daughter had decided that Reed was the school for her, and I figured Dartmouth would be similar, a small college with focus on undergraduate teaching but good preparation for grad school. I loved it, D hated it. The tiny town and distance from a city was a deal breaker for her. </p>
<p>BC, Georgetown and Northwestern are all pretty similar - Dartmouth is a real outlier among that group.</p>
