Academics at Bowdoin College

A

Balanced.

People work hard - the library is always filled with all sorts of people. There's a real sense of collaboration and the competition is really only with yourself. Nobody knows one another's GPAs. Facilities are fantastic - macs and pcs everywhere. Wireless even in some off campus buildings. Lots of internship and job search opportunities. Professors easy to reach, but you have to make the effort. A real awesome balance of academics which are challenging and college social life.

Guys & Girls at Bowdoin College

A

Hipster or Jock?

I'd say the two most prevalent social cultures are hipster and jock. General consensus is the campus is really attractive - boys and girls. Lots of love for NorthFace in the winter, Brooks Brothers for the guys during interview months, and J Crew for the girls for everyday wear.

Transportation at Bowdoin College

B+

Pretty Convenient

Freshmen don't have cars on campus, which makes it a little harder - generally people don't go off campus during the week (unless to run errands). People often travel to Portland, Freeport, and Boston on weekends. Pretty easy to get there - zipcars, buses, taxis, friends with cars, and more. Just need to plan ahead if you don't own a car.
