<p>Yeah man....Havard and Stanford are better known period, and there's nothing to get around that. However, this does not mean that one will get a better education at those institutions, and with thier significant emphasis on graduate work, I believe that undergraduates will flourish at an institution like Dartmouth.<br>
Dartmouth has the reputation when it counts; amongst grad schools, and job recruiters. If you're grandma hasn't heard about Dartmouth, I wouldn't worry.
I hope you choose Dartmouth, great school, and maybe...just maybe...I'll see you around.</p>
