[quote=Anonymous]To 00:38 sorry for late response, I am not on here to frequently. Differences between Bowdoin and Middlebury. 1st the student bodies are different Middlebury has a much larger percentage of international students. Next the setting is different. Middlebury really is in the middle of no where isolated. Some feel that the isolation can lead to a stronger sense of community bonding. Bowdoin is in a quaint small town with more resources. We found the Bowdoin campus more compact and Middlebury spread out. If you trust all the survey's the food at Bowdoin is the best in the country. Also Middlebury had a January requirement I think. These are the basic "factual" differences in my view. But in the end it all boils down to feel. Any student can get a world class education at either school. I cannot emphasize this enough. I graduated from Williams in 1982. Being from Missouri nobody had ever heard of Williams. However when I applied to medical school every single school knew of Williams and were impressed. The University of Missouri was impressed, Cornell, Washington University, University of Penn, Northwestern all felt that Williams was great. That is all that mattered to me. I have to assume the same is still true today. Go where you are going to have the best time. I believe every graduate program will look at a student with same grades and same test scores the same if one is from Bowdoin and another is from Penn.[/quote]
