[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bowdoin is adorable in summer but I would hate the gray Maine dreariness, so I relate. The surrounding area is also fairly grim and Trumpy and not great for a kid of color. Have spent a lot of time there and the drawbacks are real. [/quote] Thank you! I’m the one with the west coast kid considering Bowdoin. He has grown up in a very diverse community and as a student of color, being accepted and having peers in college is an important factor. He is nervous about being in a small town in Maine where he would not have access to comfort food, friendly faces, and have to adjust to winter days when it get dark at 4 pm. We plan to attend admitted students days coming up. It will be his first visit to Maine! Also, there have been some very thoughtful replies and advice for the original poster. I agree that being an Urban planning major at one of the few liberal arts in an urban area would be a good match and a great experience. [/quote]
