I’m thinking about applying early to Bowdoin.
I researched stuff on the internet, read reviews and thought it was the right school for me.
but I’m kinda afraid that I might have gotten a wrong impression…idk
I’d like someone from Bowdoin to tell what Bowdoin is really like!
(and there are not many postings on this issue which i find really weird.
maybe bowdoin students don’t do CC???)
So here are my questions;
I’m interested in biology. How is biology department? Are there many lab internship opportunities?
I don’t really believe in rankings, but Bowdoin’s ranking is quite high, right below WAS.
How is Bowdoin compared to, say, Williams? Is the student body significantly less smart?
Are they similar academically? What about Middlebury? Any difference in reputation?
How is the overall atmosphere? just a tight-knit community?
I’m also wondering about school pride…how Bowdoin students feel about their lives.

I really like bowdoin in general and i think i’ll be happy there.
but like, there is no strong attachment to it.
i would also love to talk to bowdoin students on msn …
pm me your email addresses if ur interested

thanks!
