[quote=Anonymous]We currently have a sophomore at Bowdoin. Not a single bad thing to say about the place. DD has gotten every class she wanted so far (one key advantage of SLACs), and has liked or loved every one of them. Academics are rigorous and expectations are high. Small classes with lots of personal interaction with professors even for the shyer students. Most of DD's friends are URMs or foreign students and she says in general student body is well integrated socially with no clear-cut cliques (though with some exception for athletes).

All sorts of personal, academic, and career support is available for the students. Community host program is wonderful, matches students up with families in and around Brunswick who take them on outings, help with transportation, invite them for cookies during stressful exam periods, etc. Plenty of activities and student organizations  to choose from, with a great outings club.

Campus is small but surrounding setting is very picturesque. Brunswick is a great town, with most of what you might need and very convenient transportation (including an Amtrak station).

FYI, our DD came from a large suburban high school, was not a recruited athlete or anything like that. Just a very good student with unique EC's.[/quote]
