<p>First of all, Dartmouth is a research university and not a LAC. Second of all, Duke actually has smaller class sizes and a smaller student to faculty ratio so if anything, Duke offers the more “intimate” classroom experience. Dartmouth will offer the more “intimate” social experience since its a bit smaller so alumni may feel more connected.</p>

Duke has a big Greek scene as well and has tons of trails to go running and biking in. It is also like a 2 hour drive away from beaches and mountains to go hiking or simply relax for the weekend. “Beach Week” is a popular student tradition after Exam Week.</p>
<p>To be honest, the only reason Dartmouth is considered to be on par with Duke is because its an Ivy League school. The advantages it offers-small classes, great advising, a strong alumni network, and incredible business recruitment-are shared by Duke as well but the latter has much stronger graduate programs and international prestige.</p>
<p>I have to admit-the D-Plan is pretty cool!</p>
