Primarily I am looking for a school that is top notch in the sciences (biochem and chem) and has abundant undergraduate research. But, having lived in the Rocky Mountains all my life, I would prefer to go somewhere where there are mountains and the mountains are well used.
Dartmouth appears to have the outdoorsy feel, but I know nothing about the academics. Please comment about the both the teaching quality and the research opportunities at Dartmouth, and suggest other schools that have that same mix of intellectualism and outdoorsy atmosphere. Do not worry about my stats.
Thanks.
