<p>I posted this somewhere else also, but I was wonderning what Cornell ppl had to say</p>
<p>Which is better, Cornell or Dartmouth and why.</p>
<p>Other than the general stuff about both schools, I think it would be helpful if you included what type of major you're leaning towards. Engineering? Hard sciences? Humanities? Business? Etc.</p>
<p>how about business?</p>
<p>They are both great schools and you can succeed in business or anything else graduating from either one. What type of college environment are you looking for?</p>
<p>Um ya major really matters...what are you looking for? + wat environment? Both are great schools so if sum1 asks u can't just say one or the other...the major and what you are looking for are some of the deciders.</p>
<p>Well... you had more to contribute on the Dartmouth thread, so I have a feeling you are partial to Dartmouth... but here's the thread that quotes the student who transferred from Dartmouth to Cornell, for what it's worth.

<p>I'm thinking of majoring in some type of science. which has better Science department Cornell or Dartmouth?? as in medical school or chemistry stuff. </p>
<p>I also want to go to a Urban city...like say NYC or Los Angeles type of place. It doesn't have to be Cornell or Dartmouth....I was only thinking of those two since they are ivy league. I heard that Dartmouth or Cornell has its own ski hill? or something? I'm interested in skiing and tennis.</p>
<p>which one is higher in terms of college rankings of USA?</p>
<p>if you want to work in NYC, cornell is a good place to be because cornell is popular in New York. </p>
<p>we don't own a ski slope but there's a ski resort 20 minutes away. having a ski resort close to you makes a HUGE difference..esp if you're into snowboarding/skiing. one reason why i love cornell is because there's a lot of snow here and its close to a ski resort. allows you to take advantage of winter sports</p>
<p>Both schools are very highly rated. Don't choose between two excellent schools based on a ranking.</p>
<p>thanks!! helps a lot. I'm really into skiing, and if there is a ski resort really close to Cornell, thats a plus! </p>
<p>what about their medical schools?</p>
<p>in terms of rankings weill is substantially higher than dartmouth medical school</p>
<p>Dartmouth is in a rural place isn't it? I think it's the most rural ivy league...definitely not urban. I'm pretty sure Cornell is better at sciences too (a TON of research happens at Cornell and it has some world-renowned sciences). You can take skiing as a gym class too I'm pretty sure! </p>
<p>.</p>
<p>Yep. You can take skiing or snowboarding as a PE class (required), even if you aren't a beginner.</p>
<p>"what about their medical schools?"</p>
<p>Irrelevant.</p>
<p>if you look at Time magazine's rankings for the world, Cornell is 15th while Dartmouth is like 50 60 ish. =] Go Red!!</p>
<p>yeah, cornell = definitely more worldly known</p>
<p>There are soooo many alumni too...you automatically begin to have connections if you go to Cornell.</p>
<p>I've never visited Cornell, but Dartmouth was beautiful...</p>
<p>Yes Cornell has many alumni, but there are more at State U, so does that mean the latter has a better alumni network? It's the quality of the connections that count.</p>
