[quote=Anonymous]We loved Bowdoin. It is a very hard admit though.

They have great resources (at least for studying the natural sciences, which was my kid's interest). Like they own an island (literally). They also fund their faculty in such a way that they are very happy, which reflects in how they interact with students.

The administration is very hands on in looking out for students (which I sought, since my kid was responsible, but on the young side in terms of maturity).

Cute town. Just all around loved the place. My DD did into get in though.

We also visited Colby and Bates. Perhaps more businessy/pre-professional? Neither made as strong as an impression on my DC, and she decided not to apply to them.

People seem to be very enthusiastic about Middlebury. I know the school is VERY strong in teaching foreign languages. One person I know who transferred out felt that the students were very wealthy and somewhat entitled.

So, that is one family's subjective summary. Hope it is helpful.
