[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t get the appeal of those schools way tol remote. Of the 4, Bowdoin highest academic ranking.Also agree their enrollment is very small believe Midd is the largest at least Dartmouth has 4,500 undergrads. Davidson is a southern Bowdoin but close to major city-Charllotte. Also Holy Cross at 3300 kids close to Boston seem better options. HC seems to have their act together and academics while below Bowdoin more comparable to Colby Bates and Midd. Williams and Amherst also rural ( less so Amherst) have the cache that the Maine schools might lack.[/quote]

A lot of people don't mind the ruralness of a school. They are all in beautiful settings. As someone who went to one of the discussed schools, I wish my kid were at any of those over the larger university that she attends which is located in a high-crime urban area. And, I am from a big city! It's actually nice being in a contained location. I wonder how many kids who go to schools in big cities actually take advantage of all those cities have to offer.
