Academically they are similar. Geography alone suggests UCB iff one wants to work in Silicon Valley.

I like Dartmouth's culture much more than the other two schools, and that would outweigh that it is likely weaker in the major. But for many people they would feel the exact opposite. Different strokes for different folks.
+1 I would choose Dartmouth for overall experience.

The consensus is that Berkely may be the best choice because of the major.
If the cost is the same and the West Coast location is not a problem, I'm curious if Berkeley could be a better choice than schools like Cornell and Dartmouth.
Your other post said you were ACCEPTED to Berkeley, Hopkins and Vanderbilt. Now throwing in Cornell and Dartmouth? Strange
+1. Troll.

Dartmouth would be a classic collegiate experience. Greek life, sports, bucolic.
Cornell and Berkeley are big research universities with better networking with grad students, research opportunities.

Cornell and UCB are head and shoulders ahead of Dartmouth for CS.
Different settings. Fit would be a big thing here between the two. You cant go wrong with either.

Is this just idle curiosity? Apply and see. Probably not getting into all three. Cornell and Berkeley both way better for CS. No way a kid wouldn’t have a preference between the two.
