And, yes, the police in Brunswick handled a situation in a certain way that I believe was not the way the college would have liked.

How do you think the college would have liked the Brunswick PD to handle the situation? I have lived in Brunswick for 23 years; the cops here are reasonable and are generaly not out looking for Bowdoin students who may be breaking alcohol laws. When illegal student activity is found off campus, among the regular folks, the police will be more stringent. Having obnoxious college students as neighbors when you are a permanent resident is not a fun situation.

I have a daughter who recently garduated from Hamilton. I know both Bowdoin and Hamilton pretty well. It’s difficult to make an objective comparison between schools about substance use/abuse. And when that might be possible, it will change for the next year, and the year after that, etc., as school policies and programs change and 1/4 of the student population departs and a new class matriculates.
