<p>Yo Mama-
Based on what I’ve heard from family and friends because I’ve only been to the NE once in the winter, wouldn’t Bowdoin be the best bet on your list? Like Momrath said, it is out on the coast. Then again, it is in Maine! Anyone? </p>
<p>I know our oldest D applied to Cornell and then had second thoughts. She was also worried about the cultural differences from the west coast to the NE. She worked in the NE last summer and will visit friends there sometime soon, but she feels that not locking in for 4 years in New England was a good choice for her. Guess it just depends on the kid. Unfortunately, you may not know for sure until she actually gets there!</p>
