Hello All! I'm having a difficult time in deciding between these two very different schools, and would really appreciate anyone's input on these schools. Thanks for your input!

I guess I like being isolated in one sense because it helps me focus and also appreciate all the opportunities available on campus alone. It is, however, very easy to get away for the weekend to a more civilized area. Hanover is 2 hrs from Boston, 3 from Montreal, and 4-5 from NY. Also don't forget all the great outdoor activies right at hand, the Dartmouth Outing Club is the largest in the country I believe, and there are lots of opportunities for hiking, skiing, canoeing/kayaking, rock-clumbing, etc. Anyways, I vote for Dartmouth!
