Bowdoin is a top 10 liberal arts school. I would definitely call that prestigious; however, I would limit that to saying prestigious to a well educated public where as Northwestern is a name known by the masses.
As for a top notch education, YES you would receive that at either school.
My advice for choosing would be go with your what YOU want pick based on your own criteria. I wouldn’t let “prestige” factor into your decision much because both are excellent schools and at the end of the day, even if someone considers Northwestern more prestigious but you aren’t happy there, it is a waste to be there.
