<p>Thank for all of the feedback.</p>
<p>I’m, at this point in time, seriously considering Carleton over Bowdoin, but I have a few specific questions if anyone can answer them.</p>
<p>1) Carleton has an amazing physics department. I’ve been told that by a countless number of people and the statistics back it up, but with so many physics majors in such a small school, how do students fair in getting great research opportunities? It would seem to me that, although Carleton is very well known in physics, Bowdoin’s number of physics majors (roughly half of Carleton’s) would make research opportunities more readily available to them, which is a huge drawing point for grad schools. Is this true, or am I just saying anything I can to find something negative about Carleton?</p>
<p>2) Also, how is Carleton’s alumni network? I’ve heard plenty about Bowdoin’s (“great”, “fantastic”, “almost as good as the ivies”), but not much about Carleton’s.</p>
