[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dartmouth is a league above UChicago and Northwestern when it comes to undergraduate focus. I agree with the pp who said that Dartmouth is like a top LAC with an Ivy brand. It is this feature that makes it unique among the R1 research universities.

Also, as a pp said its endowment is incredible for its size, though they need to use some of it to spruce up their dorms. [/quote]

“A league above” is really pushing it. At best, Dartmouth is a peer to UChicago and Northwestern at the undergrad level. At worst, it’s an increasingly irrelevant backwater school with a long history of sexual and racial harassment.[/quote]

Calling Dartmouth a backwater school is pretty funny. Guess what, a Dartmouth college alum just won the Nobel prize in chemistry this week. He’s actually the fifth person ever to win the Nobel prize twice. Nobel prizes aren’t everything of course but that’s not bad for a backwater school, having undergrad alumni win Nobel prizes is rare.[/quote]
