S decided against Colby because of the weather and the isolation. He liked both Bates and Bowdoin, for slightly different reasons. In the end, it came down to Bowdoin and Wesleyan. he chose the latter because it was larger (Bowdoin was smaller than his high school) and because Wes is south and therefore somewhat warmer. But it was a tough choice, and it really could have gone the other way. We did not get the sense that Bowdoin was competitive, and we liked the setting a lot.
