<p>Middlebury was included in “Colleges with a Conscience” as well. Your post only reinforces the notion that the schools are quite similar. Dartmouth has the edge (in many instances, a slight edge) in nearly all comparisons, but one would expect that when comparing an Ivy League school with more resources, a larger student body, and the Ivy name to a smaller liberal arts college. If prestige is most important, than go to Dartmouth–no question. If you’re looking for a place where you can grow and nurture your mind, body, and spirit, then both colleges have much to offer, and Middlebury deserves a closer look.</p>
