[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bowdoin [/quote]

Bowdoin is an attractive small school in a nice, but very small, town. More like an elite NE prep boarding school than a college, but, if the student wants small, then Bowdoin should be given consideration.

High-schoolish aspects include administrators/teachers who will call the student if the student misses class. Also, everyone knows everybody else & their business. And you will see the same faces day-after-day as well as the same social cliques. Nevertheless, strong academics and a good fit for a cliquish type student.

Did not like Bowdoin College because it was/is too small (fewer than 1,800 students) and all the admissions director/ass't director ??? talked about was getting Goat's Head Soup in a different college town in Maine known for its Somali refugees. Weird. We wanted to hear about Bowdoin, not Lewiston, Maine (home to Bates College).[/quote]

We felt a level of weirdness at Bowdoin too.   By comparison, the Bates kids and admissions team feel pretty polished and charismatic.  My expectations going in were completely the opposite.  [/quote]
