MIT vs. Stanford vs. Dartmouth

Well, I have a huge choice to make. I got “likely letters” (i.e. wink wink nudge nudge shove shove) from Dartmouth and Stanford, and I was accepted at MIT. I have visited all three campuses and liked all of them, so it’s a tough decision.

I plan to double major in math and either computer engineering (or equivalent) or physics.

I do need to know about the educational environment at each, but I’m sure that I’ll get a great (academic) education at any of the three. However, I would like to ask two things about that. One: On the whole, are the professors sufficiently focused on teaching, or do they spend most of their efforts on research? Two: Do undergrads have sufficient access to research and to equipment?

Anyways, I’d like to know more about the rest of the school as much as possible. There’s only so much you can get by visiting, unfortunately. Any information on almost any topic would be great… Thanks, I really appreciate any help that anyone can give me.
