[quote=Anonymous]All four schools are more similar than different, as with most of the NESCAC schools. That said, they have different focuses and vibes. Although 3 are in Maine, their geos are very different. Bowdoin is the most “urban.” Bates is near Lewiston, which isn’t the prettiest town. Colby feels the most remost, next to Middlebury, which is all alone in a very quiet part of VT but has the most students. All 4 provide a top-notch education, if your kid is comfortable in a generally small and rural setting. There are always some on this forum who disparage SLACs. I’m not sure why, other than pure name recognition which is clearly lower among the general population for SLACs vs. Ivys, USC, Ohio State, and other big schools or big sports programs, etc. But that’s a good thing, as their kids presumably aren’t applying. If they did, the admit rates for Bowdoin, Middlebury, etc. would be even lower than 10-15%. [/quote]
