I am not the biggest fan of Bowdoin, but I do know a few current students there. They are all cheery, outgoing, pretty sporty and smart (if not quite as academic as Bowdoin’s current stats might make you think- Bowdoin seems to be “in” at the moment). The few times that I have been to Bowdoin the other students do seem to be similar to the ones that I know. Given that it was February and 18F, it might not have been the most chatty of times to be going from one class to another- and as it was February break it may not even have been Bowdoin students. So imo @Akqj10’s experience seems as if it could be an outlier. I am very sure that the Admin office would be appalled at the way you were spoken to @Akqj10, and I would urge you to send a note telling them about it, and how it affected your daughter’s decision not to apply to the school.
That said, I would not apply to any college ED without visiting.
