i'm interested in attending college in maine, specifically colby, bowdoin, or bates, and am wondering if any of those schools have good classics programs?
Top Answer:
Regrettably, all three have abandoned the core classics requirements of years past.
All three are also extremely liberal. Bates and Bowdoin merit "Yellow Light" Cautions in "Choosing the Right College" for liberal intolerance of non-liberal views. Among Bowdoin teachers and administrators, Democrats outnumber Republicans 23 to 1.
Colby merits a bright "Red Light" for liberal bigotry (quote from "Choosing..."): "The school encourages a social and political environment that demands absolute conformity to...political correctness".
i was wondering, if anyone knos of any colleges in the usa that has acting as a degree or if anyone knows of a college that offers acting as a course in maine? that isnt too expensive thanks alot

I'm interested in Environmental Science and Writing. I'm looking into Bates, Colby, and Bowdoin. COA looks kind of neat, but the size is not what I'm looking for in a school, and I want someplace where I can meet more people but at the same time find a tight knit group I fit into. Bates...and the others are reaches for me. I'm a Junior, but hey if I got into one of them then that would be amazing. I plan on a 3.5 gpa end of senior year, working really hard this year and next. I'm not so hot at testing, looking at 600s in the english portion, but probably a 550 on the math section SAT. I'm a smart kid but math isn't my strong point. Good at talking and stuff so definitely will interview! So if any alums or current students or super smart college guru kind of people want to give me some advice about them, and what I need to get in that'd be wonderful. Thanks a bunch=)

Top Answer:
All three of these schools are highly respected and will give you a good education. They are similar in many ways, but each has its own feel. I think you definitely need to visit in order to decide.
Hopefully some alumni from these schools will see your question and give you an answer. If not, try again. You might also try posting a question on the Princeton Review chat boards. There are a lot of kids on there who might have something useful to say.

Top Answer:
I believe that the University of Maine at Orono has a good law program. I'm not sure if law is big in any of the Bates/Bowdoin/Colby type schools.

Do you attend any of these? Are they any good? I'm thinking a major in anthropology or something similar dealing with cultures, people and languages.
I've already done a lot of research but was hoping for some more personal insights.
