<p>Dartmouth is really close to being a LAC, it has the right environment and philosophy, it’s just a little bit bigger than usual.</p>

<p>gadad,</p>

<p>Furman is no longer on a trimester system. They now have two regular semesters and an optional “May Experience”, where students can select a single seminar type course for 2 credits. It was a recent change, maybe within the last 2 years.</p>

<p>Yes I know Dartmouth extremely well. But it is a small University. It has a med school. It has a B-school. It has grad programs in the sciences, and some humanities. It has a grad public health program. All programs are on the same campus, (unlike Cornell, for example, where the med school is four hours away). Dartmouth is only LAC-like bcos it is small (~4100 undergrads), and has an undergrad focus. But so does Brown (small, undergrad focus, no B-School) and Princeton (no med).</p>
