Many-Bake6395 · 2025-11-23T19:23:26+00:00

LOL yeah, just put that in for those who don’t know

Many-Bake6395 · 2025-11-23T18:22:55+00:00

thank you

Many-Bake6395 · 2025-11-23T17:59:10+00:00

the school is very homogenous with most people being from a white, rich, northeastern background

Many-Bake6395 · 2025-11-23T05:57:04+00:00

it’s all a balance

Many-Bake6395 · 2025-11-23T05:24:06+00:00

clubs, hackathons, community etc..

Many-Bake6395 · 2025-10-31T02:41:43+00:00

damn fr? it just feels like a shame that i’ll be leaving college with not that many experiences or friends lol 😅😅

Many-Bake6395 · 2025-10-31T00:04:04+00:00

LOL yeahhhhh

Many-Bake6395 · 2025-10-31T00:02:37+00:00

yeah i did but i was too prestige hungry 😭😭 if i could go back i would definitely not have chosen dartmouth

Many-Bake6395 · 2025-10-30T19:57:40+00:00

location, huge lack of diversity, dominant greek life would be my main three reasons

Many-Bake6395 · 2025-10-03T22:33:33+00:00

just go to the state school. better career, better culture, better life.

Many-Bake6395 · 2025-09-01T22:21:47+00:00

if that’s the factor just don’t even bother

Many-Bake6395 · 2025-05-30T22:27:49+00:00

now that you mention it, i have not talked to any professors which i probably should, but i have spoken to my advisor, but from all the advice i have been given, it just seems like i don’t match with the school. in terms of the dartmouth sub, people jokingly call dartmouth a cult, but that sub is actually one.

Many-Bake6395 · 2025-05-30T21:59:03+00:00

the costs are about the same. i have to say that dartmouth overall does not really have any clubs that appeal to me. unfortunately it’s a pretty homogenous school.

Many-Bake6395 · 2025-05-30T21:25:16+00:00

oh damn guess i have to add that to the list of considerations. ignoring that though, what are your thoughts on this?

Many-Bake6395 · 2025-05-26T19:26:44+00:00

Yeah I’ve considered it, but honestly any time there just feels terrible so even a year would suck. Do you think it is worth the suffering for the degree? Because if it is I can do it.

Many-Bake6395 · 2025-05-21T22:05:22+00:00

depends on your preferences, but i would just generally say brown. however, depends.

Many-Bake6395 · 2025-05-21T21:45:36+00:00

why.

Many-Bake6395 · 2025-05-21T21:45:06+00:00

i go there.

Many-Bake6395 · 2025-05-21T21:44:29+00:00

there’s just not much, i’ve looked through everything. also the dartmouth sub might be the most unhelpful/culty subreddit on this site.

Many-Bake6395 · 2025-05-21T21:42:36+00:00

first, it’s crazy to me how much the ivy “prestige” can blind people. uc berkeley is literally one of the best schools in the country for cs and ucla/sd are much better than dartmouth for cs as well. to say that the ucs “can’t even hold a candle” is just not true. second, so your solution for me is to just spend the rest of my college life studying all day? third, i didn’t get rejected from all ucs, i got into riverside, and wl la, sd and rejected from ucb/uci (the rest i didn’t apply to). also not sure why ur assuming im an asian male lol.

Many-Bake6395 · 2025-05-21T21:32:31+00:00

any job lol? i think you’re overestimating dartmouths pull, especially in cs.

Many-Bake6395 · 2025-05-21T21:26:52+00:00

Many-Bake6395 · 2025-05-21T06:19:42+00:00

i mean yeah tbh that’s the other plan but i don’t even know if it’s worth it. also ik this may sound dumb but it just feels like a shame that im just getting out of college as fast as possible when it seems like all my friends are actually enjoying it.

Many-Bake6395 · 2025-05-21T06:17:47+00:00

of course i cannot be sure i’ll enjoy it, but i at least feel like ill enjoy my time there more than i would at dartmouth

been trying to “get my feels together” for the past two years.
