Very few people will have experience at multiple NESCAC history departments. I think it best if you figure out what you are looking for in a history department - broad or specific major requirements; social, political, or economic history; size of department, etc. Bowdoin’s history department has very specific requirements, has mostly courses in social history, European history, African/Asian history, and has a large department.

I have taken two history courses and I have loved them. I wish I had taken more during my first two years and not focused so much on government. If you have specific questions, I am happy to answer them.
