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.
VS
Saint Anselm College
Saint Anselm College, founded in 1889 by Benedictine monks, maintains an active on-campus abbey, and the college's New Hampshire Institute of Politics has made it a significant host site for presidential candidate events during the state's first-in-the-nation primary election cycle every four years. The college's small size, around 1,900 undergraduates, and its Benedictine Catholic mission give Saint Anselm a close-knit religious community, and its political science program benefits directly from the New Hampshire primary's outsized role in national presidential politics. Saint Anselm's continued hosting of major presidential debates and candidate town halls has given the small college's political science and communications programs unusually direct access to national political campaign coverage and infrastructure, a level of access most colleges of its size don't receive. The college's combination of its Benedictine Catholic mission and its recurring, nationally significant role in presidential primary politics has made Saint Anselm one of the more institutionally distinctive small Catholic colleges in New England.
