<p>Dartmouth is definitely more preppy and conservative, despite how they might dress. Its more elitist and Pomona is more merit based.</p>
<p>But Pomona wont get you squat in the south or east once you graduate. Dartmouth carries big weight in the east and south.</p>
<p>But Hanover is colder than crap in the winter and it snows a lot up there...snowballs are a big major...lol....only three classes a "semester" on the D plan..but its a shorter term.</p>
<p>It comes down to your social strata and where you want to live when you graduate.</p>
