[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not a person who puts as much emphasis on status as most  DCUM posters….but these schools are not even in the same universe.
 Bowdoin is a jewel. It has great teachers and resources. Oxy is for kids who could never get into Bowdoin. The administration at Bowdoin seems actively engaged in helping kids succeed.

Here are inside facts experienced by my neighbors’ kid at Oxy: you get updates from the school about shootings in the surrounding neighborhood, which is not a fact of life at Bowdoin. Also, hi kid got into partying /getting high at Oxy, in ways that tanked her academic performance. There was also serious overcrowding in campus housing.

Oxy’s campus is pretty, and the community is  diverse…though there was unrest over that during the pandemic.
