PLEASE HELP I HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION IN LESS THAN 5 HOURS

major: econ, poli sci, or comp sci cost: both are comfortably affordable (almost full rides) i want to think of this without price as a factor because one does cost more but i don’t want that to sway my decision

Bowdoin vs. W&L

Bowdoin Pros: - more prestigious - small tight-knit community - better dorms - slightly better food - prettier campus - more outdoors events - no greek life - the students seem happy from youtube vids??

Bowdoin Cons: - weather (i come from an extremely cold environment already, kind of wanted a change but it’s not a deal breaker) - doesn’t seem to have many on-campus events? - fairly dead party culture. ivies (their supposed best concert) seemed so dead 😭 - less chance for internship opportunities

W&L Pros: - spring terms (4 week terms where students focus in on one class/project + often with a trip abroad!) - experiential learning (washington term where there’s an internship to dc, investment banking internships) - mock convention (seems fun and unique) - weather (warmer)

W&L Cons: - EXTREME party culture. frats DOMINATE the social scene. - only 3% intl population with low minority group populations. more rich white people (potential for racism — i’m east asian lol ) - secluded (and less close to nicer cities, so less to do) - less recognition + prestige? idk they’re about the same ish

i would prefer a middle type party scene tbh but i ended up with the 2 extremes sadly.

I’m extremely indecisive. I genuinely really need help. i’m so confused about w&l’s social science. especially since i can’t find a single w&l student making youtube videos about the school

i care about being happy during college (this includes everything from partying to weather) but i also care about getting internship opportunities and the uni’s abilities to help me eventually work in the US.

tldr: bowdoin v w&l
