[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Realistically OP, you probably won't have to choose. They're both fantastic schools but also very competitive, especially in RD. But from the perspective of someone who spent 2yrs at Tufts for grad school and also has a kid at a different Maine LAC, to me it would really come down to 2 things - location and major.

Location: My kid loves Maine. He wanted cold weather and didn't particularly care about the amenities of a city. [b]He's kind of kid who ate the same sandwich every day for 12 years of school. [/b]He's not itching for clubs or bars or museums or shopping. Personally I would have been the opposite - I wanted to see new things, meet new people, etc. I deliberately chose a larger undergraduate school in a city. Which is closer to your son?

Major: As a university (albeit a small one) Tufts will have a wider array of courses and disciplines to choose from if your son might want to explore different areas. Bowdoin will have many more small classes and he'll probably get to know his professors well. Tbh my son needed the latter more than the former. YMMV.[/quote]

LOL. I love good, good food yet pretty much ate the same thing for lunch every day when I worked in an office. [/quote]
