Because i've been a cali resident for good 14 years of life and im interested in heading towards a more smaller setting, away from all the city bustle, looking to see what it's like living in a small community.  i also want to go to an elite school, and dartmouth fits both criteria.  i also want to come because Dartmouth is  a liberal arts school, even tho i want to major in science, i still have no real clue what i want to do after college.  so i want to develop myself in humanities, literature, philosophy and at science at same time so i can become more of a well-rounded student.
