<p>How strong is the bio/chem in Bowdion college compare to Colby and Bates? Thanks a lot.</p>
<p>Colby has a very VERY strong Bio department... I don't know about the others, but I do know, first hand, of Colby's very strong Bio department, lol. I find the Bio classes all seem so interesting and awesome here, the teachers are incredible here, and a good amount of funding goes to Bio departments.</p>
<p>And Colby is an amazing Campus/Community (I'm sure all three colleges are though, :-)) and all of the students, literally(...okay, well 99%), are really nice.</p>
<p>Best of luck in your college search!</p>
<p>Thank you very much for the information.</p>
<p>I don't honestly know very much about Bates, but I do know that the science programs at Bowdoin and Colby are great. There are a ton of people here (Bowdoin) that are bio majors, or that are taking bio and chem classes. I really don't think you can go wrong with either school. If you get into both, visit and choose based on atmosphere, because academically, they are both top notch.</p>
