<p>^ Yeah, that's a horrible rebuttal. Sorry.</p>
<p>Dartmouth sounds gay.
I don't want body parts on my diploma</p>
<p>Here's 8: , HYPSMC, Columbia and Dartmouth ;).</p>
<p>Dartmouth has a quarter system instead of a semester system, so you're constantly taking midterms or finals.</p>
<ol>
<li>At Dartmouth you can cultivate a close and personal relationship with a moose. No chance of this at Penn unless you sneak into Phila. zoo.</li>
</ol>
<p>The Washington Quarterly ranks Penn higher than Dartmouth as an undergrad research institution.</p>
<p>at penn, you get relationship with girls, not moose(s)</p>
<p>lol this is ridiculous. but back to what someone said about Dartmouth teaching whats useful, could you elaborate on that? i fail to see where along the lines Dartmouth could possibly teach anything more useful than a university with as many graduate schools as Penn. and in case you forgot, liberal arts wont cure cancer ;)</p>
<p>Why is my Wawa turkey hoagie so juicy today</p>
<p>Something is amiss</p>
<p>Reasons to go to Dartmouth and not Penn
1. because you didn't get into Penn
2. because you are afraid of minorities (NH is one of the whitest states in the union)
3. because you like slipper1234
4. OCD fixation over the color green
5. populist desire to be a "man of the people" and go to a less prestigious school
6. you love a challenge and want an uphill battle into Penn Med
7. you like being forced to go to school in the summer
8. Hanover, baby</p>
<p>You know, colleges are not like the Eye of Sauron. They are capable of focusing on more than one thing at a time and doing it. Picking Dartmouth because you think undergraduates are some sort of second-class citizens at Penn is silly.</p>
<p>Dartmouth students have granite in their brains. It's in their song.</p>
<p>I'd pick Dartmouth because that Russian woman accused of killing her ex-boyfriend's girlfriend will be coming back to Penn in the fall to finish her Wharton degree. That's pretty creepy. I wouldn't want to be on campus with her.
Anyway guys..I'm headed for Cornell. It's AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!</p>
<p>psst... that was the joke issue of the DP</p>
<p>another reason: you'd be too depressed living in a world without dulce</p>
<p>Actually a thread was posted on this a couple of years ago, and here is what a wharton student wrote</p>

- people can be really arrogant and JAPpy.
- the school is rather cliqish.
- there isn't too much of an intellectual atmosphere. Once you get here you'll find out that not everyone is ultra smart. A lot of times you'll wonder how people got in.
- frat/sororities parties are really bad. You need to go off campus for a good social scene.
- On-housing and housing services are terrible. Get off campus as quickly as you can.
-The food tastes like ass.</p>
<p>Since I've been here, be it that it's only been 1 year, I have met very few people who were at penn to broaden their intellectual horizons. Snipanlol mentioned that as a Whartonite I really have not been exposed to people interested in intellectualism. Since I am more professionally oriented, this doesn't bother me but from what I've noticed the feel around campus (and not just in Huntsman) is not intellectual. period. Personally I think that penn's campus is not intellectual because a). most people are professionally oriented b). the School of Arts and Sciences at penn does not attract a large number of intellectually oriented students because, to be honest, if someone is looking to study arts and sciences they are better off going to an LAC or schools with a greater focus in this area (dartmouth, princeton, brown).

<p>Here is what our good friend Johnnyk wrote in the same thread

1) some people suck (though I imagine they'd suck elsewhere)
2) crime-packed West philly sucks (though gentrification will save us)
3) people think it's Penn State.
4) campus housing sucks ass, the buildlings (except for the Quad) are a legacy of Penn's cash-strapped earlier history in which low budgets meant lousy buildings. Penn should scrap them all and build a proper set of residences halls.
a) out of scale with the campus and neighborhood
b) ugly
c) poorly constructed on a fundamental level that rennovations can't fix
d) they're really so ugly that it should be mentioned twice
e) not at all conducive to building campus community, as the designers concede they were never meant to be. They were designed in the late 1960s and built in 1970, in an era in which traditional collegiate lore was scorned as evil phallocentric anachronistic oppression. So the high rises were built with virtually no common facilities to encourage interaction and community-building. There are no shared bathrooms, no shared kitchens, and a paltry amount of common space. But now collegiate spirit is back in vogue. Unfortunately, we're still stuck with these concrete eyesores. Given that the university recently poured $80 million into rennovating them, it looks like we'll be stuck with them for a good part of the 21st century as well.

<p>"girls are dogs"</p>
<p>i resent that! :D</p>
<p>Penn is actually sounding a lot like my high school (my greatest fear after getting in ED). I guess I'm transferring to Chicago...</p>
<p>well, as the saying goes, chicago is the place where fun goes to die...</p>
