I’m curious why people think a school less than 2000 is too small.

I agree with you. But the funny thing is that when I went to Unigo to see what Bowdoin students say about their school, their biggest criticism is that it’s too small. Go figure.

The other concern I’d have with Bowdoin is that the OP didn’t feel at home there, but did at Wesleyan because “everyone was some kind of freak”. While Wash U is not Wesleyan, it’s larger size makes it more likely that a freak can find his/her people there.
