<p>i feel like i really need to say that IT IS IMPORTANT to hang out with the right people. no, if you don’t look like the perfect blond preps, i wouldn’t advise applying to live in baxter house. i figured that would be kind of obvious, but i guess not… obviously people aren’t going to be super accepting at parties–drunk people go to parties to find the most attractive person willing to hook up with them. i don’t go to parties (like that, anyways), i have friends, and i do feel happy and comfortable at bowdoin. i think that that is possible for everyone, honestly, though if you are looking for a school that is already diverse, bowdoin is not the place you’re looking for.</p>
