As a current Bowdoin student, I honestly can’t imagine having any more opportunities. It’s important to note that Bowdoin’s resources and opportunities are all for undergrad, whereas many things will go to grad students at WashU. So even though WashU has more, you have a higher change of getting them at Bowdoin.
From what I know about WashU, it does not have that super friendly community that you are looking for. It seems to be a very competitive, uptight school. Of course, I have no knowledge about what that’s like from the inside.
If you really do want to be in a big city, and Brunswick is a deal breaker, so be it. It’s definitely a small town - though I come from a much bigger town and it doesn’t feel “too rural”.
Lastly, hookup culture at Bowdoin exists, but people still certainly date and no one will pass judgement if you do or do not take part in hookups.
