[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m an andover alum and I find this a strange question. all schools have their own vibe that speaks to people differently. how would you decide between bowdoin and colby? amherst and williams? harvard and yale? Andover is larger, closer to a city (close enough that you can get a day pass and ride the commuter bus), and by virtue of being larger might have more options (sports, extra curricular, elective). Some might feel the campus is too large, esp. if you end up living in the Abbot dorms down the road. Exeter has more of the New England boarding feel; smaller, tighter. teaching staff is different - if you love a certain subject you might find a teacher who really speaks to you at one versus the other. if you’re lucky enough to get into both, you go to whichever one feels more like home when you visit.[/quote] Bowdoin is much better than Colby. Andover and Exeter are on a par. [/quote]
