[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My senior likes both from the limited visit time and extensive virtual exploration. As ED deadlines loom, is anyone able to weigh in with personal experience at one or the other? And yes, my senior and I know that selectivity-wise, they are drastically different schools, and Bowdoin is a significant reach. Still, would love to hear about the type of student who seems to fit at either. Thanks in advance. [/quote]

No doubt your child would get a great education at either school. However, it is hard to compete with the quality of life at Bowdoin. Dorms are incredibly spacious and the food is exceptional. Our daughter graduated in '24 and loved the food. Grabbing a meal at Bowdoin was not just about eating, it was very social. Additionally, Bowdoin's endowment is $2.9 billion whereas Connecticut College is less than $500m. [/quote]

Bowdoin has incredible resources (including islands).

And they treat their faculty so well, that they are relaxed and generous interacting with students.

New London is also very sketchy.

(Both are accessible by train to DC, which is convenient for winter/holidays). [/quote]
