Bowdoin (21.4k/year) - $85.6k for 4 years (can handle w/o loans)

  1. providing every student a 13-inch MacBook Pro, iPad mini, and Apple Pencil
  2. Thrive program that supports low-income and first gen students like me
  3. great peer and alumni mentoring
  4. 2 islands for marine science research
  5. excellent, modern facilities
  6. great social sciences department
  7. awesome student life
  8. feeder to grad school ( i am considering)
  9. good food and diversity
  10. ocean is like 15 minutes away
  11. Faculty scholars

​

School 2 Cons:

  1. very remote/isolated
  2. can get very cold
  3. lack of accessibility to groceries/shops
  4. maybe a little too small of a campus (doesn't matter to me that much bc it is not very condensed)
  5. not very well-known (well-known to grad school employers tho)
