| In regards to what bothers me about Bowdoin:
Bowdoin provides AMAZING resources for nearly everything you need. Academic advising, career counseling, internships, off campus study processes, etc. You want it, they've got it. Obviously this is a great thing, but sometimes I get a little worried about how much they are walking us through the entire thing. Bowdoin to me is definitely sometimes a little utopia - so different from huge state universities - and I get worried about being *completely* independent in the "real world." This is one person's opinion, though, and obviously the extensive resources are great.
The other thing that bothers me is also one of those positive/negative things. A lot of the kids on campus are super duper well-rounded, and well, to be frank, sometimes this ends up with people being super-duper well-rounded, but not always the most interesting, passionate people. But this is by no means the norm - it's just easier to notice in a smaller student body.
Other things that bug me about Bowdoin: they really need to put salt on the ice that coats all the quad diagonals. It's very slippery. But that is not really a big deal...like I said...there are only a few things that bug me, and they are really little things like that. |
