<p>bumpppppp! please help :)</p>
<p>You bumped your thread after a single minute?</p>
<p>Anyway, it more come down to what you want out of it. Brunswick is nice, but it isn’t as near to a major city as Tufts is by any standard. Both have good academic environments, both have the major features of a liberal arts college (Bowdoin more so obviously), etc. What were you hoping to get out of it?</p>
<p>Have you gotten off the waitlist to one recently?</p>
<p>i meant to bump another thread - whoops! and yeah i know someone who is torn between the two - they feel like bowdoin has the better reputation/education (plus they got better fin aid from them) but they see themselves having more fun at tufts</p>
<p>eh, I don’t know about Bowdoin having a better reputation. They would probably be about the same to me. But honestly, reputation is far overrated.</p>
<p>How much financial aid are we talking about? What would be the net difference, and could he or she go to Tufts without loans?</p>
<p>Bowdoin costs: 52,000
Bowdoin aid: 37,000 grant</p>
<p>Tufts costs: 56,000
Tufts aid: 34,000 grant
3,000 loans</p>
<p>net difference: about 18,000</p>
<p>“net difference: about 18,000”</p>
<p>How did you get that figure? I think the difference is ($7,000/year) x4year = $28,000 for 4 years.</p>
<p>because thats what he told me it was given scholarships and whatnot that he has etc…</p>
