was your friend a counselor for mental health? that may be the reason why he saw so many students who felt that the environment was overwhelming and who were depressed.

generally, bowdoin was far less competitive and far happier than any of my friends’ schools (brown, harvard, uva, amherst, princeton). so unless folks at colby and bates are so blissfully happy that, in comparison to bowdoin, they seem superior, i’d take your friend’s advice with a grain of salt…

or just cross it off the list without visiting yourself…
