<p>I’m actually not trying to convince him to go to Dartmouth. I actually posted this same question in the Stanford and MIT forums (but swapped out “Dartmouth” with “Stanford” and “MIT”), because I know those in the Dartmouth forum have a tendency to be biased towards Dartmouth, and Stanford in the Stanford forums, and MIT in MIT’s. You all, in each respective forums, are the ones that know the schools best, since it’s where you plan on attending or apply to or dream of; it only makes sense that you want to go to Dartmouth, MIT, or Stanford for a reason. What exactly is that reason? For example, I’m going to Cal, and I lurk around in Berkeley’s forum often and know more about Berkeley, because that’s where I want to go; it’s only sensible that I know plenty about it. </p>
<p>So again, I 100% understand that it’s not my right to make any kind of decision for my friend or should even try to convince him to go anywhere, because I don’t know him as well as he knows himself. But he’s simply asking for my opinion, and as a good friend, I want to give him a good opinion that’s been made after knowing several facts and pros and cons of each school. An opinion that’s grounded with a strong base of facts and reasoning. </p>
<p>Maybe I phrased the question wrong, and that’s my fault, so I guess I’m pretty much asking you (and whoever that views this), a person with some knowledge of Dartmouth (I’m assuming), what makes Dartmouth better than MIT and Stanford in your eyes? </p>
