NOT Bowdoin- very white, upper class, prep-school, snooty New England brats. Wanna be IVY's that couldn't get in.[/quote]

Uninformed take on Borodin.  What are you, 12?[/quote]

No, my daughter went there and  had a hard time socially as a woman of color. Very cliquey students with little exposure to students with difference- culturally or otherwise. Wonderful teachers, though, and that's what got her through. Brunswick is a cute town, but also lacks diversity  and somewhat isolated. It's the social piece that is tough as a woman of color.

If diversity was that important for her then why would she have applied?  I’d also say that describing students as bratty is sophomoric.  Your daughter made a bad decision but that’s not a reflection on the school.  Grow up.[/quote]

There should not be schools that are socially challenging because you are not white in 2021. It is not about numbers, it is about how she was treated. How DARE you blame her for choosing an unwelcoming environment. [/quote]
