Comparable Schools'
Diversity Grades:
College Prowler Take
Bowdoin is not a very racially or internationally diverse place. Most of the diversity on campus occurs either culturally or politically because Bowdoin puts in a lot of effort to attract students from all over the United States. Fifty percent of the student body is from a region other than the Northeast. Fifty percent of Bowdoin students are from public schools, and 30 percent of Bowdoin students are minorities. That 30 percent says a lot about the trend that Bowdoin is following. Despite the fact that Bowdoin is not incredibly racially or ethnically diverse, it is, in fact, more diverse than many of the other NESCAC schools. The student body may be more homogenous than is desired, but beyond this façade, the students at this school all offer something special. Each has his own story of how he became who he is and what aspirations he has for the future. The students at this institution reveal great motivation, dedication, unadulterated passion, and a sense of how they want to give back to the community. It’s safe to say that, although the racial and international diversity may be lacking, each and every student at Bowdoin brings a unique perspective and presence to campus. Students Speak Out

I have found it to be fairly diverse. Some are international students; many are Americans whose heritage is that of another culture as well as that of the U.S. There are city kids, kids from public schools and private schools, and students with different religious and social views. I’ve enjoyed learning from friends with backgrounds different from mine. |

It’s true that diversity exists, but it’s not apparent in day-to-day life. It reminds me a lot of boarding school. |

There are so few international students, which is really disappointing because that could be such an exciting presence on the Bowdoin campus. |
