Duke or Dartmouth?

<p>I was accepted to several colleges but whittled the choice down to just these two. Which do you all prefer, and why?</p>

<p>There are SEVERAL topics on this. Search my username and you'll find some. By the way, what answer do you think you'll expect from the Duke board?</p>

<p>Moving on, I was in the same position. I chose Duke because of well....I love it.</p>

<p>dunno... dartmouth is like in the boondocks. for me, at least, i need a civilization around me to live.</p>

<p>I was actually afraid of that, but now that I'm actually IN Hanover visiting...it's surprisingly not isolated. There is a TON of stuff to do here.</p>

<p>I guess I should specify -- I am interested in linguistics, maybe economics, and study abroad. And I hate being around pre-med/pre-law students 24/7.</p>

<p>lol, you can't really avoid pre-anything students</p>

<p>Duke's Economics program is awesome, but I'm sure Dartmouth's is also good for all the social sciences as well</p>

<p>Duke probably is more active, I didn't really think of Dmth, but I'm down to Columbia and Duke and its going to come down to the visits</p>
