[quote=Anonymous]I toured Bowdoin back in the 1990s. My parents were keen on my attending a strong LAC but after a few of these schools I was more interested in a bigger school and ended up at an Ivy that combined many of the virtues of a LAC with a larger university. Bowdoin and comparable LACs have always been known as strong schools with excellent classroom instruction and close faculty-student interactions. I don't get a sense that's changed in a century, my parents knew of Bowdoin in their own childhoods in the 50s-60s, so among the educated UMCs of the time Bowdoin was always a school that was known. Bowdoin is affluent for a LAC with a large endowment. Will say at my Ivy I met a few kids who'd transferred from schools of Bowdoin's caliber and every single one said while they appreciated the resources of a larger and more famous school, the classroom experience was better at the Bowdoins/Amhersts/Williams. It doesn't surprise me. [/quote]
