<p>I have a friend who just got off a waitlist surprisingly and wanted me to ask the above for him. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Bowdoin!!!</p>
<p>Bumpity bump bump</p>
<p>What does your friend want to study? They’re COMPLETELY different schools!</p>
<p>It seems odd that one would seriously consider both schools this late in the game - they are quite different. One is a medium size school while the other is quite small. One is in a very large city while the other is in a quite remote location. One has a strong presence of graduate students while the other has none.</p>
<p>Definitely, BOWDOIN!</p>
<p>Depends on intended major and what your friend is looking for. Bowdoin is much smaller, intimate. Georgetown is larger and in a lively area. However, Brunswick is not “remote”. It has a nice little downtown and Portland is less than 30mins away.</p>
<p>Brunswick is most definitely remote when compared to the alternative.</p>
<p>The obvious question is: What does your friend want to study? For anything political, in the realm of foreign languages, that sort of thing, the choice is obvious. For the mathematician or future physicist, not so much.</p>

<br>
<p>For Bowdoin, you mean? Its Government & Legal Studies Department was ranked the top small college political science program in the world by researchers at the London School of Economics in 2003.

<p>Georgetown is pretty good at that stuff too, though :)</p>
<p>Bowdoin>gtown</p>
<p>Depends on which school your friend liked best and where s/he felt most comfortable. </p>
<p>I would pick Amherst, Bowdoin, Carleton, Haverford, Swarthmore, Wesleyan, or Williams over Columbia, Cornell, Duke, Harvard, Georgetown, Penn, or MIT.</p>
<p>So, it depends on what one is seeking from their undersgraduate education experience.</p>
