<p>I would wholeheartedly disagree that Dartmouth students are not as committed to humanitarian efforts as Princeton. Dartmouth, in fact, has been the number two school in the country for sending students to do the Peace Corps. The way I see it, is that Princeton is more "Save the cheerleader, save the world" (raise money for a cause, then donate it to some charity), while Dartmouth is more "Save the world, by saving the people in need". The Princeton kid gives up an afternoon to fundraising, while the Dartmouth student donates 2 years of his/her life to actually working with the people in need.</p>
<p>Even if you are unwilling to do something as extreme as the Peace Corps, there are many, many other opportunities at Dartmouth. Here, you can borrow one of the school's cars specifically designated for use to drive to local high schools to tutor students. In addition, Dartmouth students can actually receive funding to cover some of the costs to travel overseas and do something related to community service (or an unpaid internship in case you're interested). Students do not have to be on financial aid to get this funding, and for everyone I know, they have been extremely generous. (All received at least 3 grand to cover travel/stay expenses). Plus, if you have some sort of extra-special, or unique project in mind, I am sure you could receive even more money than that!</p>
<p>As for the Princeton V. Dartmouth argument, it is clear that education-wise, it will be equal. So, I would just recommend that you go visit both schools and see which one you like best. But, I sincerely hope that you choose Dartmouth :).</p>
