<p>My vote goes to Dartmouth (of course). Middlebury is a great school, but Dartmouth is better in terms of academic prestige and reputation, while providing a similar social scene. Its also more diverse, better known, and has more success in placing its graduates. </p>
<p>You can;t go wrong with Dartmouth and it also has amazing LAC like qualities like awesome study abroad, sophomore summer, lots of community aspects, a very happy student body, etc. Add a more talented and diverse student body (The Ivy name attracts a broader audience), and I just think Dartmouth is a more eye opening experience.</p>
