[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll ask the unpopular question: what's so good about Bowdoin? So far, I'll I've seen is they have a nice dining hall.[/quote]

Peers!
Bowdoin SAT 1480/1510/1550
Oxy SAT 1360/1450/1500

You are more likely to find more ambitious kids at Bowdoin.[/quote]
So...what's so good about Bowdoin. You didn't answer my question. I get they have good stats-i'd hope so with the way people are talking of it like it is Harvard. What is so good about Bowdoin, especially when all you can display is a SAT range that comes from a very heavily test optional school.[/quote]

DP. Not poster you are asking.
"Niche" perhaps?[/quote]
No, I'm interested in others' opinion. I'm not an LAC champion-I went to state flagship/ivy and parents on this board continue to talk about how amazing and special these places are but will almost never answer why they're so prestigious. If you asked me about Harvard, there'd be 100 things I could comment on before the students. If the kid likes Oxy, I don't see the point of burning yourself blue in the Maine winter for prestige at a college most people have never heard of and where parents here, who are clearly fans, can't even speak on its reputation beyond the student's SAT scores-mind you, a majority of admitted students don't even submit SAT scores.[/quote]
Bowdoin owns 2 islands.[/quote]
