<p>bowdoin is a very writing intensive school. in fact, one of my professors in a seminar my first year spent so much time on one of my papers that he demonstrated how a few sentences would be better written. so, aside from the full page of comments at the end about the content, he was also exceptionally hands on about technique. </p>
<p>bowdoin’s math and music departments are small, but strong. i know majors in both who were very happy with their experiences. i’d go ahead and contact the departments directly, though, if you want to know more. if you have a specific interest in music, say, that the department can’t meet, i’m sure they’ll be candid. they’re not going to shill for bowdoin.</p>
