<p>I’ve been accepted to both and both have givenme similar aid packages,and I love both pretty equally, so I can’t decide which one to choose! In your opinion, which school is a better choice and why?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Bowdoin, of course! haha. But really, I’ve had experience with both schools, Hamilton more than Bowdoin. Academically, they’re both great schools, but it comes down to what you want to study: Bowdoin has a superb gov program, their languages are better than hamilton (imo), but Hamilton’s writing program is very strong (unsure of Bowdoin’s).
Bowdoin generally tends to be ranked higher/have (a little) more prestige, but the difference probably isn’t enough to make or break a decision. Both schools both have the small-town feel, but Hamilton is very disconnected from the town.
what do you want to study? and what sorts of things do you want in a school?</p>
