I discretely asked the school tour guide about this (didn't call them out when stopped, but walked next to her and asked quietly). Response was that it's mostly students from Vermont, who are predominantly white, and, they are working on it.

Came of DD's list, because she didn't want to be in such at such a homogeneous place


It's still this way after all these decades? The upper New England states VT, NH and ME have been this way for decades and prob won't be changing. Mamdami attending Bowdoin? Kinda out there.

The housing situation sucks and can be very stressful. It is a fun town, walkable with access to Lake and mountains. The winter can be very long and gray. It is a little hard to get back to DC – not a big deal for the major holidays, but the kid cannot come home for a long weekend like they could if they were in Pennsylvania or Virginia



-??? There are daily nonstops-AA to DCA and United to IAD.
