One of the best schools I've seen. Been living on campus during the summer since I was in 7th grade. Now I'm a senior and I'm sure this is the school for me.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Be prepared for anything at anytime. A lot of activities happen at Bowdoin for everything you could think of. Ask about the Colby-Bates rivalry and you have yourself a wonderful and funny conversation. If you're shy, this might not be the place for you because there is no hiding at such a small school and soon you'll know everyone on campus, have dinner at your professors house, or walking the town of Brunswick with a group of diverse friends bigger than you ever could imagine.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Don't go to Bowdoin if you don't expect too be seriously challenged.... Seriously... Do not do that to yourself.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Heaven. The dorm rooms are huge compared to most and that's a big plus. You don't feel crowded with your 4-5 roommates just to give you an idea. The 2 common areas for meeting Moore Hall where I usually stay are good for relaxing with friends over a game or takeout.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Food is absolutely to die for. Never worry about having the same thing twice because the menu is always different and always amazing. A lot of the food is organic and they have food dishes for all needs. Vegetarian, gluten free, no eggs, or seafood and dishes for all the people that want all that stuff. The food in the town is almost better. Little Tokyo has the best sushi every. Gelato Fiasco has nationally and internationally recognized gelato that is said to be the best and you would be surprised to find a celebrity or two there at night when few people are there having a taste.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
In the town of Brunswick itself there may not be that much to do, but 45 minutes away, you have Portland if you every want a big city experience.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
None and I'm happy about it!
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Super safe and super open campus. The people that live in the town are often seen with their kids and pets on the campus greens and security can be constantly seen patrolling. Never once in the 6 years I've been going to Bowdoin during the summer have I ever had a moment where I didn't feel at peace.
