<p>As sappy as this sounds, I’m torn bwtween a few schools. Could ya’ll maybe rank them or somethin based on the overall unergrad experience? (including academics, sports, residential life, campus appeal, etc.)</p>

<p>Colby
Middlebury
Bowdoin
Bates
Reed</p>

<p>Personally, my order of preference would be:</p>

<ol>
<li>Middlebury</li>
<li>Bates</li>
<li>Colby</li>
<li>Bowdoin</li>
<li>Reed</li>
</ol>

<p>It depends on what you’re looking for though. Reed, for example, is quirky and intellectual (like UChicago), is very politically active, and is quite strong in the sciences and social sciences. </p>

<p>Middlebury, on the other hand, has a preppier and more athletic feel, and is strongest in foreign languages and the like.</p>

<p>Oh, and you should really try to add a few safeties. Perhaps Bennington?</p>

4

<p>If you are a girl and shave your legs, avoid Reed. That is one weird place. What do the grads with 4 nose rings do after graduation? The other 4 are very similar, colder than hell and preppy, the opposit of Reed.</p>

5

<p>If you’re interested in studying government, Bowdoin has rather strong history/political science courses.</p>

6

<p>actually, I’m primarily interested in environmental studies…</p>
