It always seemed to be to have some similarities to UVA (with the obvious size difference noted). Why are people so quick write off all of Dartmouth off when it has some similar traits that makes UVA attractive to people in Virginia?

UVA is attractive because it's a flagship that costs 35k a year instate. Dartmouth's cost to attend is 77k

About half of Dartmouth’s student body receives financial aid that averages $57k a year.

Pp asked why people write off Dartmouth while UVA is attractive. Price is the answer

The criticisms of Dartmouth were about the environment, not the price. UVA has a similar frat culture, drinking culture, etc. That was the comparison.

and UVA is popular because of price to the people in Virginia. UVA can be like Dartmouth and popular to Virginians at the same time. Also a frat culture and a drinking culture do not necessarily lead to rape culture

That means half of all Dartmouth families are paying $77K a year out of pocket. No wonder the school is the least diverse socioeconomically within the Ivy League (which is already notorious for skewing towards the wealthy).

The reason why this culture will not change any time soon is because the most influential alumni (who also tend to remain highly involved in the wider Dartmouth community) are the very people who reveled and partook in that same culture, and will stop at nothing to see it remain alive and well.

I'd love to know the names of these influential alumni who "reveled and partook"? I'm sure you can name them since they remain widely involved.

Colleges play games with these figures. This one includes all the 100% EFC families like ours who still take out the $5500 student loan. We hardly qualify for financial aid. Yet, we can't justify 77K.

Because 99% of them know that they would never be admitted to Dartmouth in the first place.

Please. Unless there is something from the WSJ, Washington examiner, National Review or NY post, don't even bother. The NY times with it's lying 1619 project is now only fit to be used as toilet paper. Same with USA today and left leaning BS papers. They have long given up covering anything factually and fairly

Which makes it OK to take a shot at Dartmouth and give UVA a pass.

I actually can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not. Surely there aren’t people out there who think these are reputable publications? WSJ and National Review, ok, slanted but fine. The others? They are tabloids.

Dartmouth has 17% of undergraduate receiving Pell Grants. That is higher than the percentage at UVA, VT, W&M, and James Madison.

But it's entire off campus at UVA and only about 32% participate. You can go all four years without every entering a sorority or frat house. You can also choose not to drink. Amazing!

With such distinguished alumni like Dinesh DSouza and Laura Ingraham...
Every Dartmouth alum I know who has liked the school has been conservative.
