Please don’t lean on your son to go to your alma mater. If you do, and he does, anything that does not work out will be your fault. If he managed to get admitted to both places, he is obviously bright enough to make this decision without any unsolicited advice.

Since you are a loyal alum, I suspect your son knows a lot about Dartmouth, and making him go back to visit when he does not want to is more likely to generate resentment than it is to inspire him to attend. He has been there, let him make his decision.
