<p>I'm deciding between Vandy and Dartmouth. Any ideas about comparing national/international reputation, academics, types of professors, preparation for grad school, campus atmosphere, campus social life, or other criteria? Thanks.</p>
<p>Hi. From what I hear, they both have a big Greek system and lots of parties. </p>
<p>I have a friend at Vandy and she loves it. She says she cannot imagine herself anywhere else. </p>
<p>Weather is completely opposite! Dartmouth: snow all the time. Vandy: I hear it rains a lot and is rather humid. My friend told me she took a run thru campus and a tornado came through. </p>
<p>Sorry I can't be of much help, but I am visiting both campuses next week so I will post after I come back. =)</p>
<p>concerning international reputation: over here in europe neither of them is widely known, but if so, i would say dartmouth is more likely to be known when randomly asking someone.</p>
<p>i hope this was useful</p>
