My D is a BMC graduate. We are from Massachusetts and D was not interested I staying in MA. My D had a great experience at BMC. She found course work that was challenging, had excellent faculty mentors, and developed life-long friendships (in fact one of her BMC friends is spending Tday weekend with our family). She took advantage of the bi-co and also took courses at Swarthmore. Everyone of D’s close friends ended up going to graduate school–Yale, Brown, MIT, BU, and Columbia. BMC is one of the LACs that consistently turns out students who go on to doctoral programs, which suggests strong academics. I say visit both schools–physical environment is really different (suburban vs rural). You won’t go wrong with either school.
