[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMO Bowdoin is the best SLAC on the East Coast. Sure Amherst and Williams are slightly higher in the rankings, but Bowdoin matches them in quality of education and far surpasses them in quality of life and overall happiness. Outcomes and prestige are comparable these days. [/quote]

Bowdoin is way whiter and less economically diverse than AWS.

“Overall happiness” doesn’t stem from anything innately Bowdoin but because kids have a huge safety net in their lives.

So effing true - I've been searching for a way to describe that phenomenon and boom you've done it. [/quote]

VERY Lacking on the diversity front- big time. Needs improvement imho[/quote]

How “diverse” a college is means very little to most people[/quote]

What a missed opportunity to attend college with people very similar to one's self.  Go to a place where you can discover folks from different places and cultures and make the effort to get to know them.  That is an education on top of an education.[/quote]

You're assuming our kids are also preppy, white, and outdoorsy. But being primarily around kids like that would be quite a new experience for my kid.[/quote]

Not assuming anything.  Just responding to the post about lack of diversity.  [/quote]
