Does this sound like a Dartmouth personality

Macalester, Oberlin, Grinnell and Pomona are very different in personality than Dartmouth. Dartmouth is very preppy and much more right leaning. Not sure, but based on the very liberal schools you mentioned, it sticks out like a sore thumb. I am not saying that Dartmouth does not have liberal leaning people there, but it’s a very different environment from Mac/OBer/Grinn and Pomona.

Dartmouth is a great school for the outdoorsy type and it’s in a lovely, remote area in NH, but very different from the LAC’s you list. Have you been to visit any of these?
