i was a government major at bowdoin and thought it was a great department. excellent professors, and engaged students. government tends to enroll people with a diversity of interests. because of this there tend to be a couple “tracks” in the department, some being more difficult than others. the toughest professors in the government department at bowdoin are by far the best teachers i have had, and that continues to be true.

whatever your interest, the department is a good foundation. i never thought i would go to law school, but found myself here anyway, and at a top three school at that. i don’t say this to boast, but to portray the preparation of the bowdoin government department. many of my friends in the department (or, i guess, from bowdoin generally) are in similar positions. some do policy in dc, and many do graduate work at the kennedy school.

dunno, it was just a really great place. i feel as if my education is on par with so many of my fellow students many of whom went to HYPS.
