Does this sound like a Dartmouth personality

Again, thanks for the thoughtful responses. They do convince me that having Dartmouth on the radar is not nuts.

My concern for the outdoorsy character is just to ease the transition. Coming from a rural (ish) valley in UT, the transition into an urban school like U Chicago, G’town or Columbia would be a big one. So I think he would feel less out-of-water at a place where other people had gotten their North Face jackets dirty a few times. But first and ofremost is the quality of the education and the interesting people that would be part of the campus community.

And I appreciate the specific schools that some of you are suggesting as other possible options; while I know their general national reputations, they deserve a closer look (even though I would probably pronounce Bowdoin wrong the first time.)
