<p>aluotak,
I agree with you, I like Bates better than Colby. I actually like Bowdoin the best out of three, I really want to go there. I just think Bates seems really laid back and comfortable-- although they have enough prestige. My sister goes to Bates and loves it. But I don’t know about ranking them, it’s really just a matter of preference. I like Bates better, but I’m sure plenty of people think Colby and Bowdoin are ‘better.’ It’s hard to say. It’s not like any of us really know anything about most of the schools we’re ranking anyway. We probably just have an opinion of them based on the U.S. News ranking, and stupid things like endowment. That stuff really doesn’t have anything to do with education. But, whatever, I’ll rank them anyway-- just my point of view.</p>
