Having trouble narrowing down my college list

Is Dartmouth like Williams and Stanford with the whole no-city sort of thing? When I visited, it seemed that way.

What about Northwestern? How does that fit in with the city/student vibe? I know it is very close to Chicago, and I have heard that it doesn’t really have a campus. I’ve actually never been farther west than West Virginia, so I know nothing about the city (or the entire Midwest, for that matter). Is the mindset very different from that of New England/the East coast?
