<p>After narrowing down my choices to Hamilton, Vassar and Bowdoin, I think I’m going to go with Bowdoin. </p>
<p>After doing a tremendous amount of research (archiving Bowdoin CC forums, studentreviews.com, collegeacb.com, messaging current/past students on Facebook and PMing current students here on CC, etc), I have found that Bowdoin is a perfect fit for me. I love everything I’m reading regarding students being happy, student life, academics and much more. The negative feedback that I’ve read really doesn’t match the positive things that I have read. I had to realize that every school in this world has a flaw and after accepting that, reading the “negative” things didn’t really affect my optimistic view on Bowdoin. This week I’m going to the Bowdoin Experience, so assuming that I love it there (I know I have to take some points off b/c diversity weekends doesn’t 100% accurately reflect the everyday happenings at Bowdoin), I will send in my deposit promptly. Another thing that influenced my decision is them selecting me for the Chamberlin Scholarship which is a full ride and other amazing opportunities. Overall, I’m just really excited for Bowdoin. </p>
