[quote=Anonymous]Bowdoin parent of URM here again. I just want to add one thing: I don't understand the Swarthmore poster. I really don't. Between my kids, my husband and me, we attended over half a dozen colleges and universities. Every single one, including Bowdoin, had its advantages and disadvantages but we were very happy with the education Bowdoin provided, which was rigorous but steeped in a sense of social responsibility. It was a good match for my kid and their values.

My kid also applied and was accepted at other slacs that, I'm sure, are equally fantastic. But, at the end of the day, kid had to choose one and Bowdoin is where kid chose and kid did well. If anyone has specific questions that I can answer, I will be happy to answer but I refuse to get into a competition with other SLACs. These top SLACs are more alike than they're different. For us, the trade off in diversity more than made up by things that suited my kid well: Maine, the outdoorsy, like to ski thing, happy well-rounded vibe. [/quote]
