I began this thread by asking a simple question that I hoped would help me make a decision about where to matriculate. Unfortunately, rather than assist me, people like hellojane and dor turned it into a forum espousing their unhappiness with the people at Bowdoin. I checked and hellojane has left almost 40 messages telling us how miserable she is. Now aloutak tells us this whole convoluted chat has convinced him or her that Dartmouth is the better school. I can’t believe one would make a decision based on two unhappy girls who seem to hide in their rooms living in misery while they try to convince students not to attend their school.

I may still not know where to go, but I do know that unless these women get out and try to change their lives, they will be unhappy for a very long time. There are 1,700 or so students at Bowdoin. While the school is small, it is certainly big enough for them to find friends if they make some kind of effort. If they don’t they could be destined to be unhappy for the rest of their lives. On the other hand, anyone who makes a college decision based on two points of view out of 1700, is not exercising very good decision making either.
