Bowdoin vs. Hamilton

<p>Anyone apply to/accepted at these two schools? Any feedback would be so helpful!</p>

<p>I got into both schools last year and decided on Bowdoin because of the name and community. Bowdoin is in a small town but there is pretty easy transportation to wherever you want to go. Hamilton was a nice school but it has a dujour/ defacto Greek life that turned me off. They brag about eliminating fratts (like Bowdoin really did) but instead, they do not give the members permission to have their own house. The students still manage to group together in common halls and go to parties at Colgate. Hamilton was also a little bit more jockey than Bowdoin.</p>

<p>What’s your intended major, R4484?</p>

<p>thanks, bowdoingirl … very helpful. </p>

<p>I plan to study English, possibly environmental studies. I’m definitely more of an artsy person than math/science.</p>
