That article is interesting. A lot of LACs on the list. I've heard the Vandy comparison before too.
The social scene and Hanover environment are good to know about. Unlike Penn or Brown or Vandy, you don't many off-campus options. It is most like Williams to me in that regard.  [/quote]

Several years ago, I read this article a couple times. Used to have Case Western Reserve on the list as well, but apparently this school was removed after many disagreed.

Vanderbilt isn't really as similar to Dartmouth as the article suggests. Vanderbilt is much larger & it is located in a lively city--Nashville. The key to Dartmouth College is its rural, isolated location. (Vanderbilt is much more similar to Northwestern University, Duke, Emory, WashUStL, and Rice than it is to Dartmouth College.)

Dartmouth isn't really similar to Kenyon College either. The demographics at Kenyon have shifted to being very liberal & rural, isolated Kenyon College is tiny. The difference is that Dartmouth attracts more mainstream students and has a decent sized student body that enhances the rural, isolated location while Kenyon's tiny student body makes the rural, isolated location seem constricting. (Kenyon College is more similar to Grinnell College & Hamilton College.)

Dartmouth College is similar to Colgate & Middlebury & Bucknell & Colby.
