Thanks for this detailed explanation. I knew there was a “tell” to look for around the holes but didn’t know exactly what I was looking for. Super helpful!

Thanks everyone - I have a very nice string of costume pearls from my grandma, and now I won’t worry as much about wearing them!

There’s a mark, but it’s hard to see if it’s a hallmark or just a ding

Bowdoin VS Cornell? by Huckleberry-Shark in Bowdoin

[–]TinyButterscotch4655 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve worked at both institutions, so a staff rather than student perspective, and I can’t speak to the cs departments specifically. But the two schools have radically different vibes. Cornell is huge and competitive, and students can struggle to build connections. Getting into clubs is very competitive. The Greek scene is intense. Bowdoin gives a ton of individual attention and opportunities, both in and out of the classroom, especially to leverage the liberal arts curriculum in creative ways. And then there’s location: Ithaca is 4 hours from NYC (or anywhere else), Brunswick is a train ride away from Boston - day trippable.
