Colby-Sawyer College
Colby-Sawyer College, founded in 1837, is a small liberal arts college that transitioned from a women's college to full coeducation in 1990, and its nursing and exercise science programs have built solid regional reputations relative to the college's modest overall enrollment. The college's small size, fewer than 1,000 undergraduates, and its rural New London, New Hampshire campus give Colby-Sawyer a close-knit community distinct from the state's larger public university, and the school's applied, career-focused curriculum reflects a deliberate institutional emphasis on practical post-graduation outcomes. Colby-Sawyer's scenic Lake Sunapee-area setting has made outdoor recreation a significant part of campus culture, and the college's proximity to New Hampshire's mountain resorts has supported strong ski team and outdoor recreation program participation. The college's combination of a small, career-focused liberal arts curriculum and its scenic mountain-lake setting has made Colby-Sawyer a distinctive, if lesser-known, choice among New Hampshire's private colleges.
VS
Dartmouth College
Dartmouth College, founded in 1769, is the smallest of the eight Ivy League institutions by undergraduate enrollment, and its explicit institutional emphasis on undergraduate teaching over graduate research, unusual within the Ivy League, has made it a consistent draw for students specifically seeking Ivy League academics with a more liberal-arts-college feel. The college's Tuck School of Business, founded in 1900, is the oldest graduate business school in the world, and Dartmouth's "D-Plan," an unusual academic calendar allowing students significant flexibility in scheduling terms on and off campus throughout the year, reflects the college's rural New Hampshire setting and its winter sports-oriented campus culture. Dartmouth's remote Hanover, New Hampshire location, far from any major city, has fostered a particularly tight-knit, outdoorsy campus culture, and the college's ski team and its proximity to New England's mountain resorts have made winter sports a significant part of Dartmouth's institutional identity. The college's combination of genuine Ivy League academic prestige, its unusually undergraduate-focused teaching philosophy relative to Ivy League peers, and its remote, outdoor-recreation-oriented setting has made Dartmouth a distinctive choice among students specifically seeking that particular combination within the Ivy League.
