Bowdoin vs. Bates vs. Colby

<p>My father and I plan on touring Bowdoin, Colby, and Bates at some point during the year. He really wants me to get the vibe of the campuses, but we don’t necessarily want to go when there are feet of snow. I play soccer, and so all September-November is not free for me to tour. When would be the best time to tour? Is it okay to tour in the winter, or should I try to go before school starts? Or just wait until spring?</p>
