Schools: Dartmouth, Williams
Intended Major: CS

I'm interested in working at a startup or making my own. Every other factor I care about (class size, school size, resources, etc) is identical at both schools (literally both in the middle of nowhere, east coast, and tiny). My decision will mostly boil down to the strength of the entrepreneurial culture at these schools.

Tiebreaking consideration:

If williams has a startup culture (decent enough), I will go to Williams. I like Williams more than Dartmouth, but career aspirations outweigh personal preferences.

From a student at Williams who I know, apparently research opportunities are really good there, and also class sizes are pretty small

Current Williams student here. Startup culture is not exactly big here for sure. I doubt it is at Dartmouth either to be honest, that's usually only at schools like Stanford and not LACs. As far as career resources, networking at both schools will get you in any career you want (I'm a CS major). Not sure if you are on fin aid, but I think Williams has the best fin aid. If you have other questions lmk
