<p>Just a overview of the differences between the two—</p>
<p>Obviously they are both very selective. Midd has more of a work hard play harder reputation than Bowdoin does. Midd is in rather rural VT near mountains while Bowdoin in in a small city on the coast of Maine. Midd probably has more notable foreign relations and language programs than Bowdoin does, although I’m sure some Bowdoin student would dispute that. Bowdoin students, in my limited experience, tend to be more stressed by classes than their Midd counterparts. If you like skiing a lot Midd might pick up a couple points.</p>
