<p>“I’m just sick of the arrogant, jerky students representing Bowdoin on CC giving Bowdoin students a bad rep.”</p>
<p>i agree with the sentiment, but i think you, too, might need to “chill out” a bit. the most defensive person on this thread, at least, has been you.</p>
<p>Tspartan, the best way to figure out how you’d feel here is to visit - NOT during the Bowdoin Experience or Invitational or other minority-focused weekends, just on your own on some other random weekend. and make sure you don’t just take a tour or walk around the campus during the day - go to a few classes, hang out in the dorms, head to the dining hall, maybe check out some of the nighttime entertainment… just, if you can afford it, avoid coming during one of Admissions’ minority recruitment weekends (I say “if you can afford it” because I’m fairly certain that Bowdoin covers visiting students’ expenses for those weekends, so if you need that in order to visit, then go ahead and come during one of those weekends - just know that Bowdoin’s not always so diverse, OR so event-filled) - they paint a very skewed picture of Bowdoin, and I know of several people who were fooled by it, and realized when they got here “for real” that the school is less diverse than they thought.</p>
