[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's a mistake to generalize about these schools - it really depends on what the kid wants and where they think they will thrive. Many of my daughter's friends wanted larger schools - and I understand that. She wanted a small school, loves the rural location, and is having a wonderful time. Have your kid do some research into the academics and programs they might be interested in; visit some schools and see what they respond to. We visited SLACs she loved and others she really disliked; big schools and mediums schools; rural schools and urban schools. You learn a lot by touring.[/quote]

yeah this thread is SILLY. We looked at Bowdoin Middlebury Wash U, Tufts W& M, and Williams. Really liked Middlebury Bowdoin but LOVED Williams. It is an exceptionally good school famous for its teaching quality. It is remote but unlike Middlebury and Bowdoin it is really EASY to get to Williams! It's an hour from Albany and a decent drive to Boston. Middlebury and Bowdoin were lovely but felt more remote in some senses.

I just dont understand some of the threads on this website. Just go with your kid and walk around.[/quote]

Look, Williams is an hour from Albany's airport, Middlebury is an hour from Burlington's airport, and Bowdoin is 40 minutes from Portland's airport. Both Middlebury and Bowdoin have Amtrak stations within walking distance of campus that will take you to NYC and Boston, respectively. Middlebury and Williams may be located in small towns, but they're by no means isolated. [/quote]
