[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have current student at Conn (Bio major). I'd recommend visiting both.  My child much preferred area (and weather) of New London/Mystic and Groton vs. Brunswick, ME. Big difference for our family is that Conn offered merit money (not just a meets needs school) and Bowdoin and many other NESCAC's do not.  FWIW, when we toured both campuses - they appeared to both have welcoming communities for all kiddos (sporty, artsy, nature loving, etc).   [/quote]

Np here. Dc who is being recruited there. Can you tell me about the culture? Does it have sporty kids? Mostly Kids from the northeast? [/quote]

I’m another poster with an athlete at Conn. Definitely most kids are from the Northeast; I think Bowdoin has a higher percentage of kids from outside the region.  The coastal setting of Conn is really nice. Beautiful view from the track, and the XC course is right on the beach.  The schools are more alike than different, and while Bowdoin is more prestigious, the merit aid that Conn offers is appealing. If your kid is an athlete, team vibe and the coach also matter.  Have them stay overnight with a team member. [/quote]
