I was accepted to many great schools but in the end selected Bowdoin for many reasons. The student body and faculty are friendly and helpful. People you havent met yet come up to you and create conversation. The classes are challenging and prepare you for whats out there however you do not feel overly burdened or overwhelmed. The sciences are amazing! You will not get a better preparation for a science field than you will here. Campus activities are amazing. I am not a drinker and you never feel odd not drinking here. Everyone respects your decision and there are many students that choose not to drink. There is a club for everyone and you can create one as well. Food is awesome! You never feel like you are eating the same thing over and over...a great variety. I am not too into athletics but even if you just want to be a spectator it is so much fun to cheer the teams on. The new fitness center is going to be amazing, with yoga classes, massage and all kinds of excercise machines...I can't wait for it to open! The dorms are wonderful! They are bigger and they really know how to pair you with your roommates. I have had wonderful experiences with my roomies to date and have made some of the best friends of my life. For anyone who is unsure of Bowdoin just do it! This place is full of amazing and wonderful people, classes, programs and everything not to mention the town of brunswick is safe and has so many fun things to do in it and within a stone's throw from it! Wheather you like beaches, shopping, the outdoors, eating out,activities, etc. you will find it here and nearby....I love this place.

Bowdoin students are hard working, and they balance study and play time. The school is academically challenging, but in the end it is worth it....

Sun, 18 May 2008 07:36:16 GMT StudentsReview 646-47090 Copyright 2009 StudentsReview, Ecliptical Technologies, Inc. 646-47090 646 52 Undecided Female Undergraduate Class 2011 1st Year Neutral Good: There is something about this campus that allows you find your niche, complete with good friends and activities you really care about. People here are bright and natural. Housing is very diverse. Freshmen get very comfortable two-room doubles (living room and bedroom), and after that, there are several options (singles, doubles, triples, quads, apartments, and college Houses).

Bad: The college administration really hides how much drinking goes on campus. At least as a freshman, other freshmen think you're handicapped if you don't party or drink weekends. If you don't, it's hard to find things to do, unless you have a very dynamic, creative personality. In general, people are very apathetic about events on campus that don't involve partying, with the exception of a capella concerts and improv shows. Everyone really cares about their own clubs/extracurriculars, but getting a good turnout at events is difficult. For out of state students, if you don't have a car, travel is a huge hassle. Also, if you have big ambitious for your career, this is not the place to make prestigious connections, because most people here aren't as interested in, say, making money or earning a big name as they are in doing something they really love. A lot of people here are also the type to retire to some obscure corner of the East Coast because they like small towns/country side.
