[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Williams is far more well regarded[/quote]

OP here - to this comment, my kid did say that it seemed as if all of the athletes he met at Williams were targeting ivies and “had to settle” for Williams - but Bowdoin kids mostly conveyed that they had that school as first choice - just anecdotal based on his conversations with the kids, but pretty interesting.  Would def make sense if Williams is seen as being more well regarded as poster indicates [/quote]
We were completely turned off by Williams after our visit because of the students, surprisingly. Our DS was talking to a group of students and explaining he was choosing between their, Pomona, and Swarthmore, and they started laughing and saying "Williams is the easiest answer." Students really seemed to think highly of themselves, which was honestly surprising for a liberal arts college, and so many people brought up the #1 LAC rank as if it meant anything. Bowdoin had lovely, friendly students![/quote]
