<p>Could you please give me some insights for these:
Academics
Nightlife
Diversity
Guys
Athletics
Campus Dining
Transfer
Student-to-student</p>
<p>Could you rank it by 1-10 near it. I can't figure it out which to choose? I am planning to follow my friends footsteps and transfer from a community college. I am not a college student but I am a senior, I like to think a head.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>No no, just kidding. I have no idea, but I think both colleges rank extremely high in most of those characteristics. Cornell's diversity, campus dining, and nightlife are most likely better. In terms of academics, both are unbelievable, but they have completely different feels. It depends on what YOU are looking for.</p>

<p>Look, I like Dartmouth. But there is no way in hell Dartmouth and Cornell have the same levels of diversity.</p>
<p>^^precisely what I was thinking...</p>
<p>-shrug- I thought Cornell was number one for Ivy League diversity...but I didn't know about Dartmouth. The rest are close then?</p>
<p>Which one would you most likely see the students coming for a football game?</p>
<p>Does either Cornell or Dartmouth have Rivalries in football or other sports?</p>
<p>Also what about the workload comparison history/classic/philosophy?</p>
<p>Cornell has good sports teams. We have a rivalry with Harvard in hockey, and we regularly dominate lacrosse. Plus, we won the Ivy League in basketball last year. </p>
<p>Neither of the two schools are great at football.</p>

<p>Oh please. Dartmouth and diversity? Those two don't mix at all...</p>
<p>Other than hockey what other sport Cornell students would prefer watching:
Baseball
Basketball
Football
Lacrosse</p>

</p>
<p>Well, Cornell would have absolutely more students coming out for a football game. It's not hard for 3-4,000 students to watch a football game at Cornell, as there are 13,000 kids on campus. At Dartmouth, you have 4,000 students, so 2-3,000 is a really good showing.</p>
<p>And for hockey, it's not really a contest. I was at the Dartmouth-Cornell game at Dartmouth two years ago that helped to decide the Ivy League championship. There might have been 200-300 students total at the game supporting Dartmouth on. You would have ten times that much in Ithaca. Same for hockey, wrestling. Cornell sells out its 1500 seat wrestling matches.</p>

</p>
<p>Not really. Due to its size, Dartmouth doesn't tend to field the best teams in hockey, lacrosse, wrestling, or basketball. Their football team used to pretty good until their admissions office upped their admissions standards a decade ago.</p>
<p>It's surprising -- considering both schools are rural and similar in some ways. There aren't even any historical drinking songs that reference Dartmouth, even though plenty reference Harvard, Yale, Penn, Princeton, Brown, etc.</p>
<p>At the end of the day, I would say that Cornell offers everything that Dartmouth offers -- a liberal arts college surrounded by beautiful grounds and an active Greek system -- and much, much more. So Cornell is kind of = Dartmouth + MIT + mini Berkeley.</p>

<p>No difference in the humanities. Cornell will be more difficult in the sciences.</p>
<p>Ummm...Dartmouth is actually more diverse on a percentage basis. Dartmouth has been over 30% minority for over ten years. Cornell might feel more diverse, however, simply due to size. Not a big difference either way, hence I would put them in the same category. </p>

<p>Well, I just don't think of race when I think of diversity. I think of different types of students from different interests and backgrounds. Dartmouth doesn't have very many architects, engineers, farmers, or hotel managers.</p>
<p>As CayugaRed2005 points out, diversity isn't just about race. For example, I would be willing to bet you that Cornell has more socioeconomic diversity than Dartmouth. </p>
<p>Both schools are top-notch. Cornell is undoubtedly stronger in the sciences and engineering, and my impression is that Dartmouth is stronger in the humanities.</p>
<p>I'll also add that, in terms of diversity, there is a qualitative difference between attending a school of 4,000 students compared to a school of 13,500 students. The percentages of students from a certain background may be the same, but the depth of the student body will not be. So an African-American student at Dartmouth may meet all students of a similar background to herself within the first year. But at Cornell there are 3-4 times as many such students to meet.</p>
<p>That's interesting, Tchaikovsky, as I would actually argue that Dartmouth is stronger than Cornell in the social sciences, but not in the humanities. Dartmouth tends to attract 'class president' types who are very drawn to government/economics -- this is the area where Cornell may actually be weakest in. Cornell has fantastic programs and students in humanities -- English, Comparative, Art, Architecture, Philosophy, etc. and tends to draw more of the 'tortured soul' mentality.</p>
<p>Cayuga don't forget us in HumEc - PAM, and ILR - Labor econ. Gov't + economics is our specialty :b
Or may be your just giving a CAS v. CAS comparison between the two schools.</p>
<p>Wonder when Bescraze is going to jump in and do his thing.</p>
