Hey I jsut did a crazy college visits tour and I visited both Dartmouth and Cornell. I personally am for Dartmouth at this point, but they both have so much to offer. Went I went to Cornell I was so surprised by how friendly everyone was. I was reading a map trying to orient myself/find something or other and I’m there for a ll of 2 seconds before an engineering student is telling me how to get anywhere and everywhere on campus, and giving me the lowdown on what hotels, what places to eat etc. This coulddddd be because of my outrageously hot bod, but still, it was a very welcoming place. I stayed at the Stratler which is a hotel on campus, and all the people in the Hotel school are working there, and I struck up a conversation with so many of them, and they all just know where we’ve been in the decisions process and are so nice and helpful. One of the girls even gave me a room with a king sized bed (sweeeet) but charged me for a less expensive room. The academics there seem amazing. (But that’s kind of a given lol). On the other side when I went to Dartmouth I just fell in love. I think the D plan is the sexiest thing ever and their whole study abroad program just seems amazing. I also am a fan of greek life (looking into a sorority) so that’s a plus for me, i love the wilderness location/community that I think would be there as a result of that isolation lol, the guys at dartmouth are very goodlooking, they’re building two new astronomy observatories, I could go onnnn. Cornell and Dartmotuh are similar in that they do seem to focus on undergraduates a lot (D more than C, but that’s to be expected given their types) and everyone I saw at both schools just seemed so happy. Oh and the food at cornell is amazing. so is the ice-cream. I would be happy going to either one, it’s just I think I personally fit Dartmouth better (let’s hope I get in!). You might be the total opposite. Good luck choosing!
