Great food!

Good teachers.

Smart, nice, hardworking students and individual attention from professors. Beautiful campus. More outdoorsy than most NESCACs. Less political and artsy than Wesleyan or some of the others.

Id say they attract a crowd more artsy than Wesleyan. Crunchy granola Bowdoin types are really into art, and there’s high demand for the arts courses.

It’s impossible to get in now. Huge endowment has allowed them to boost their first gen/URM numbers. After the athletes, not a lot of spots left.

Great school if you want to extend high school. It is an excellent college version of an elite boarding school.

Felt less nerdy than the WASP schools we visited. That might be a plus or minus depending on your kid.

You say that a lot about LACs. Most high schoolers do not attend elite boarding schools, so a LAC is a different experience.
