<p>Ive done a post like this before but here is a little more info. I have gotten into Colorado, UVM, and waiting on Bowdoin( i haven't gotten in yet but just in case i need to decide). So im pretty stuck on which one of those i would want to go to. Here is my reasoning and im stuck what do you think?
UVM- its fairly close to home(live in MA), nice town, pretty area, seems pretty laid back, good social scene, and good academics.
Colorado- new location so would be an interesting experience, great social scene, nice town, wicked pretty campus/area, and good academics
Bowdoin- fairly close to home, great academics, more intelectual people, nice campus, kinda boring area, and seems like it would get boring after a while
my main reason not to go to Bowdoin is just i think it would get boring after a while and the academics alone might not be worth that. also im a pretty laid back person(doesn't mean i'm lazy i have a 3.97 GPA and play sports) but also like an intelectual atmosphere. so im stuck! they obviously all have their ups and downs? Whats your opinion?Need any more info about me please ask.</p>
<p>UVM unless money is a factor</p>
<p>im stuck on the decision</p>
<p>UVM. It's a great little school.</p>
<p>bowdoin, nothing beats a top quality LAC.</p>
<p>This is such an orange vs. two apples comparison that I'm not sure how much we can help. Personally, I would pick Bowdoin in an instant over the other two, which - to be quite blunt - are somewhat mediocre state flagship unis that are able to charge premium OOS tuition due to their locations. But you have to decide how important the big school vs. small school atmosphere is for yourself.</p>
<p>Bowdoin hands down</p>
<p>If you expect to live on the east coast or in New England, UVermont or Bowdoin would be better from the point of view of maintaining contacts and friendships. Academically, Bowdoin is the best choice. You just need to analyze your priorities once more and decide whether academics outweighs the total college experience or not. I am not saying that academics should always rule. There are other important factors. If you do not get into Bowdoin, then it makes the decision easier. If you are stuck between two choices, visiting both may result in a clear decision, if you have the time and money.</p>
<p>Bowdoin will offer an alumni network and recruiting at a much higher level than the other two. Its just a better choice.</p>
