[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those of you who know both Williams and Bowdoin.... any differences? Comments?[/quote]

Bowdoin has better food. Williams places better in IB.

The top SLACs are all more similar than different, especially the top NESCAC schools. A student considering them should really go by fit as any of them can get a kid anywhere that they want to go and the student profiles are identical. There are no significant academic differences between Amherst, Bowdoin, Hamilton, Middlebury, and Williams. Ranking differences are completely driven by endowment size, all have big endowments and the rankings are directly correlated to the size of their endowments which shows how much weight this factor carries in USNWR rankings. Athletics are important though the athlete/NARP divide is severely exaggerated by some on DCUM.

My kid was recruited by both schools but ultimately went to a different NESCAC with a better team. She like both and I have no doubt that she would have been happy at either school. Check them out, you cannot go wrong. [/quote]
