Over 76% of students who started college in fall 2022 returned to college the next year, and over 68% returned to the same college. Community colleges have seen the biggest retention rate gains over the last decade. The majority of students who begin at 20 years old or younger are staying in college, but less than half of learners from ages 21-24 and older than 25 returned to college for their second year.

Bowdoin College is a private liberal arts college in Brunswick, Maine. The school is old; like Nathaniel Hawthorne went there old… like older than the state of Maine-old. With such a long legacy, Bowdoin has made a name for itself as one of the top liberal arts schools in America. With about 1,800 students, Bowdoin is also very small. But if you are looking at top small schools, Bowdoin should be on your list.

In the not so distant past when I worked at University of Washington-Seattle, a student applied and was essentially reviewed in the same way no matter what major they selected (though there were a small number of programs that admitted a small number of students directly as freshman). Now, UW and many other universities are increasingly taking intended major and interests into account as they “shape” the incoming class.
