Lastly, IMO (of course), NU is more academically intense than Dartmouth, most commonly NU students take 4 classes/qtr, while at Dartmouth it’s most common to take 3 classes/qtr.

Most Dartmouth courses are supposed to be equivalent to 3.5 semester hours or 5 quarter hours; lab courses are supposed to be equivalent to 4.5 semester hours or 6.7 quarter hours, according to http://dartmouth.smartcatalogiq.com/current/orc/Regulations/Undergraduate-Study/Requirements-for-the-Degree-of-Bachelor-of-Arts/Statement-of-Credits .

Northwestern courses are supposed to be equivalent to 2.66 semester hours or 4 quarter hours, according to Courses and Credit < Northwestern University .

So each Dartmouth course is theoretically “larger” than each Northwestern course.
