Northwestern is larger, more diverse, easy access to a major US city, a bit more intense academically, non-judgmental atmosphere.

Evanston is a nice, sophisticated small city.

Northwestern’s lakefront setting is magnificent & contributes to a bit of an outdoorsy feel.

Greek life is there for those who want to participate, but not necessary.

Yes, there are similarities between Dartmouth & Northwestern. But, other than the weather and brilliant students, any further similarities are by choice.

Very strong intellectual / intelligence vibe at Northwestern. Strong work ethic. Students are too busy to waste time judging others. Opportunities to do a wide variety of activities.

Graduate students add a nice touch to campus.

Overlap schools for Northwestern University: Yale, Stanford, Harvard, Michigan, Penn, Princeton, WashUStL, & Duke.

Overlap schools for Dartmouth College: Brown, Duke, Yale, Stanford, Princeton,Colgate, Middlebury, & Williams

The overlap schools in common between Northwestern & Dartmouth are: Yale, Stanford, Duke, & Princeton

As I noted in my earlier post in this thread, I suspect that you might be more comfortable at Harvard & Michigan (Northwestern overlaps not in common with Dartmouth’s overlaps). I also think that you might like UPenn, Cornell, & Princeton.

P.S. The Fiske Guide To Colleges loves both schools, but notes (in bold print) that at Dartmouth College “…the long-standing party culture persists.”

The Fiske Guide To Colleges asserts that “Northwestern University is comparable to Duke and Stanford.”

As an aside: Notre Dame University administrators share that Northwestern University (as well as Harvard, Duke, & Vanderbilt) is an overlap school.
