Rice, Dartmouth, or Berkeley?

If you care about quality of life, Dartmouth is #8 according to Princeton Review (only Ivy on the list) so there isn’t a huge discernible difference from life at Rice. If you’re going for the MBA and a major in Econ, Dartmouth is excellent for internships due to the D-Plan and Dartmouth is Morgan Stanley’s biggest recruitment college. Dartmouth also has one of the best and most popular study abroad programs in the nation, better cohesiveness/community/college feel, less competitiveness compared to Berkeley, more diversity (less than 50% of students are white), and a strong base for social justice/activism as a subset of the student body if that’s what you’re going for. Dartmouth has a niche social group for everyone, and these groups are not mutually exclusive. Dartmouth is also going to start a residential college system starting with the class of 2019.

Just go to Dartmouth.
