[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Daughter is at Bates and loves it. It has a strong academic reputation, and the thesis and class requirements exceed some of the Ivies and little Ivies, so you know the students are getting a solid education. The area is fantastic - close to Freeport, Portland, Range lake (a favorite in May!), and many hiking spots. The campus bus to Boston Logan makes it easy to fly direct to many cities. The vibe is definitely welcoming and there is always something fun happening on campus. Acceptance rate this year (2023) was 12 percent, which makes it very selective (top 30 in country). All the NESCACs are truly great choices! [/quote]

This.  We're pushing our kid toward a NESCAC school for sports, small school, great alumni network, etc.  He has been lightly recruited for D1, but our experience is that D1 feels too much like a job.  Kid will most likely go to grad school so no need to go to a hypercompetitive environment for undergrad.  Williams and Middlebury are top choices. [/quote]
