College Prowler Take
The Bowdoin Bubble is not hard to navigate by foot. With Maine Street running right past campus and conveniences like a grocery store and restaurants less than a mile away, everything you could ask for can be accessed with just a good pair of walking shoes. However, the use of a car will add the convenience of life outside of Maine Street. Due to the size of Brunswick, no public transportation system is present, but Vermont Transit has a stop not far from campus, and Concord Trailways has an on-campus stop. These buses offer easy travel to Montreal, Boston, New York City, and more. Safe Ride provides an easy, safe way for students to travel around campus, and the Bowdoin Student Government offers the use of Brunswick Taxi services on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings to promote safe drinking. On Friday afternoons and Saturdays, the Bowdoin Student Government runs a shuttle service to Freeport and Portland. Although at times the Bowdoin Bubble can feel suffocating, there are enough low-cost traveling options for students to get around if they do not bring a vehicle to campus. The possibility of leaving campus is much better than at rival Maine schools, and with little effort, it is easy to get off campus. There are also many students on campus with cars and most do not mind taking friends places. Students Speak Out

The school provides transportation to shopping centers on the weekend and to the airport before major breaks, but public transportation doesn’t exist in Brunswick—it’s too small. |
