<p>For international relations, though, Middlebury is generally acknowledged to have the edge over Bowdoin. Middlebury is about 400 students larger, I think, which makes a little difference—could be a pro or a con but most would consider it a pro-- and the campus is more spread out. (again, maybe pro maybe con). Also, I’m not sure if Bowdoin has J-term which adds some variety to the types of academic choices and to the tempo of the school year.</p>
