<p>I’m eager to know about that</p>
<p>I don’t know from experience, but I hear that they are both very solid, especially the philosophy department.</p>
<p>When I applied three years ago, Philosphy was a major I guaged for prospective institutions to apply. Bates was one of them. Though I was rejected by Bates, their Philosophy program intrigued me. </p>
<p>You will have a great program with Bates and certainly their Philosophy program is in my estimation better than Colby’s, in that department.</p>
<p>Having said this, Colby is a quite an esteemed institution and should not be ruled out as a prospective college of choice.</p>
<p>comparing with Bowdoin??</p>
