<p>I transferred from Columbia as well. I always felt like Dartmouth students have an unbelievably awesome college experience socially and academically (very LACy), explore the world, and walk away with amazing jobs and get into amazing grad schools. Yet when they graduate they are truly wholistic individuals - having gotten to explore so much in such a great community. </p>
<p>Students at many other schools end up in the same jobs/ grad schools but have a much bigger chip on their shoulder and miss out on many of the humanistic aspects of a college experience that Dartmouth offers. Far more intensity and angst, same payback. No thanks.</p>
