<p>With respect to post #10, I think that it might be better stated that Bowdoin students are very friendly while Haverford students are incredibly friendly. Both schools have beautiful campuses. Haverford, I believe, offers a semester or year long exchange with Claremont McKenna College in California. To recommend Bowdoin College, I would add a caveat that the student should be open to a term or a year abroad to address the somewhat isolated location and to escape from the inevitable beer bashes. I would also recommend a car. That being written, Bowdoin College, to me, is like going home. It is a small, beautiful Atlantic Ocean community with great programs in government & history. So much, however, really depends upon factors not included in the above posts. Some folks function well in a closed and fairly isolated community, others need the freedom of anonymity of a large city. Either way, your daughter will be known & well cared for. P.S. After reading reading your prior posts, I am going to recommend Haverford College for your daughter.</p>
