Forum Topic: "Cornell or Dartmouth???"

Post a new topic
I'm an American-born-Korean from the predominantly white city of Ventura, CA and I have no idea which one to choose. Any suggestions or opinions on the two?

For one two of my parents friends who are doctors went there and loved it. So, it seems that science minded people enjoy it there. I have visited the campus. Everyone I met there was super nice. It's in a beautiful area. There is a nice little rural downtown. Everyone I spoke with said they loved it. However, here is a downside- if you love the city. I am a city boy. Too many trees and not enough city for me. But, everyone there seemed truly happy. Oh, and very intelligent.

Dartmouth 'cause it's a lot more chill and laid back than Cornell. Besides, do you want to go to a school that has the highest suicide-rate of any college? It all really depends on what you're looking for.

^^^don't believe everything you read ^^^

"Cornell University is one peer institution that does maintain moderately complete records of their student deaths in response to a common perception that they have a high suicide rate. Cornell had eight students take their own lives in the past ten years. With about 19,000 students on campus, Cornell has a suicide rate of about 4.3 per 100,000 student years for that time period, far below both MIT and national rates."

Just by curiosity ...

Cornell or Dartmouth?
- knowledge
I think it's Dartmouth.
- cameron
is it difficult to get a chance to do research at cornell?
and is it hard to get good grades there?

what's the korean community like at dartmouth, or is it just nonexistent?
- alicejhp
Well, dartmouth is in semester system and cornell is in quarter system.
I dont know about the korean community in those schools. But there are quite a lot of korean students in my school and they have to make two separate groups to differentiate those Korean korean and korean americans...

Sorry, my bad. Actually Dartmouth is the one on the Quarter system and Cornell is on Semester system.

- renix
haha.. yeah, I was really hungry and couldn't think clearly. Btw, I've decided to go to U of Chicago instead of Harvard for summer school. It's so expensive and Chicago has a better econ program...
- Nub4Life
I would say that Dartmouth is the most diverse. I know they have a large Asain population of students there.
- cameron
yeah, harvard is expensive for summer architecture programs as well. their undergrad is overrated anyway
- renix
