<p>Bowdoin students apparently joke about the “Bowdoin B”- where everyone works their butt off, but can only get to the B. I don’t know if they put caps on the number of A’s, like Stanford does.
They also recently got rid of their Credit/D/Fail policy, which many students practically depended upon in the instance of classes too difficult to reach an A. </p>
<p>So classes are HARD, but there are always those extra, on-the-side, easy classes as well.</p>
