Daughter is admitted to both, struggling in deciding which one to attend. Intended major is Computer Science, minor English.
Thanks for your input!
I would think Hopkins. Seem to have a very good writing seminars program (don’t know if this translates to English) and the computer science program is reasonably strong as far as I know.
The other thing to consider is having a core curriculum (Dartmouth) versus a distribution requirement (Hopkins). The distribution requirement seems to provide more flexibility. Some may the prefer core curriculum. Individual choice. By the way, I am a Hopkins dad so there could be a bias here at play 
(current CS major)
I don’t know anything about Dartmouth, but between the two I would choose Hopkins.
Hopkins is a (rankings wise) a better engineering school, situated close to DC and NY (so plenty of east coast job opportunities), has some of the best research in AI and Information Security, and has a rapidly growing CS department that’s getting a lot of funding. And as was already mentioned, we also have great English and Writing Sems programs.
At the end of the day you’ll probably be fine with a degree from either school. However, I think Hopkins will afford you more opportunities during undergrad and will put you in a better position post-grad.
I’d definitely pick JHU
I actually was an applied math major with an informal humanities minor at Hopkins back in the dark ages.My experience was the the English literature department was extremely strong. The software courses I took were also particularly good. Hopkins is probably better academically in both subjects, but I don’t know that much about Dartmouth. Hopkins has excellent humanities, but small humanities departments and not that many undergraduate majors.When I was there, the English majors seemed career oriented like everyone else, mostly pre-law or pre-MBA.
People thought I was weird taking some humanities. Hopkins is more European style, oriented towards studying one thing. In that way Dartmouth sounds like a better fit. Dartmouth is preppier and probably a little more prestigious. Hopkins of course is intense and rigorous. Dartmouth is fraternity oriented… Definitely different style schools. I can’t really give a recommendation either way. It depends on the student.
@sattut the Hopkins environment may have changed since your time. Humanities majors are still small and a decent number of them are pre-law or angling to get into politics, but nowadays it’s not uncommon for students to double major or minor across STEM and humanities. The distribution requirement system at Hopkins is actually meant to encourage students to branch away from their major field of study to explore other courses and subjects.
@YaleDad2019: Would the decision be easier if JHU was located in Hanover, New Hampshire ?
Dartmouth does not have a core curriculum. They have distribution requirements.
The U of C and Columbia are examples of schools that have an actual core curriculum.
