[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Midwesterner here, curious which NESCAC schools offer the best vibe/fit for a student from a flyover state. We are looking for campuses that feel warm, welcoming, and collaborative rather than pretentious or dominated by private/boarding-school culture.

My daughter is pretty open academically, plays a varsity sport, and works as a stage manager for drama productions, so she’s well-rounded and tends to make friends easily.

Which NESCAC schools would likely be the best match for that environment, and which might be tougher fits?[/quote]

I'd recommend looking at Bowdoin. My child ended up choosing it over Hamilton and non-NESCAC Davidson. His friends are equally split coming from public and independent schools -- none in his group came from boarding. All three schools felt very friendly but he really liked the classes he sat in on when he visited. We would have been happy with any of these three. At Bowdoin, all incoming freshman start off the year on a small group Muti-day Orientation trip led by Upper Classmen. It's a nice way to start the college experience.[/quote]
