How academically cut-throat is Bowdoin compared to Colby and Bates? I know Bowdoin is ranked slightly higher in academics than the other two, but if everyone there is completely oriented on doing better than their peers, I would much rather go to Colby or Bates.

Does anyone have any insight into this?
