Berkeley vs. Dartmouth

Colleges and Universities A-Z Dartmouth College
1

<p>I'm a non-California resident who's been recently admitted to both Berkeley's liberal arts college and Dartmouth. I'm planning on majoring in economics and finance, probably with a minor in political theory, followed by either law school or business school. I wanted to know if anyone had any opinions about where would be better for me. The things I want to consider are my chances at high power graduate schools and job placement from each of those colleges as well as the general environment and experience.</p>

<p>Thanks, appreciate any input.</p>

<p>Dartmouth is one of the best schools in the country in terms of getting people into Business and Law schools. Berkeley is good, Dartmouth is better at all the Northeast colleges.</p>

<p>In terms on environment I think you'll find a much more tight-knit feel at Dartmouth, and you'll get much more attention and get better opportunities. Dartmouth gave me 10K for my thesis research and helped me found a company! Rarely will you find such a supportive environment.</p>
