<p>If you are looking for a suitable academic oriented campus comparable to a Dartmouth or Yale, why would you only limit your choices to a Division I school. It seems as though you are blindsided in your college search. Have you ever visited Harvard or Columbia? I trust that you haven’t, because if you had you would realize that those campuses are not notorious for their athletics or social lifes. In fact I don’t feel that the other Division I schools you compared the Princetons to are in any way comparable as far as campus feel is concerned. Duke, Wake Forest, UVA, and Notre Dame are all known not only for their high level of academia but also for their athletic powerhouses. However any top new england school one will find that besides the few exceptions such as Boston College basketball, athletics affecting the campus life or feel of the campus are minute to say the least. So if you’re looking to find a school of comparable nature to an ivey then why not consider a small college in New England with the same level of academic achievement.</p>
