A small school with a liberal student body that is very focused on academics. Most students are on varsity sports teams or clubs. The food is so good.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Check out all the different clubs on campus. There are so many for such a small school!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
No matter what your major you will find the classes very challenging. Both the students and professors are deep into academia and all the professors do their own research.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Most of the housing options are pretty good and the cleaning employees do a great job.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Best in the country. Actually.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Watch the sports teams compete (NESCAC games are sick). Social house parties on most weekends plus plenty of outdoors opportunities with the outing club.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Bowdoin is expensive, but offers killer financial aid. Plus, so many opportunities and connections open up for you. You can even do research with a professor as an undergrad.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Ivies week during the spring is one crazy week. To find out more you will have to come... Also pepper flipping during meals... Have to enroll to learn more about that too...
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Progressive minded liberal students who like to get involved in their school and community. Athletes are also very happy here.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
We have everything: a film club, an outing club, sexual support groups, and much more.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Instead of fraternities we have social houses which replaced the frats a couple decades ago. They frequently host parties and events.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
We have a relatively small campus located in a very safe part of Maine (not that too many parts of Maine aren't safe). The Bowdoin Security personnel are for the most part quite nice and keep an eye on the campus (but not too close).
