<p>I would say that the students here are both pretty preppy and athletic. Sure, there are also some outdoorsy, hippie types, but you would definitely not be in the minority. I know some girls that play field hockey and squash (sorry, I’m not sure about tennis) and a lot of them are preppy and athletic. Not sure if that helps you any, (haha) but I think that being preppy and athletic is pretty much the norm. And I think that most students here have a lot of school spirit–lots of kids go out to the big games against Colby and just in general, the people that go here are proud to go here. And yes, Bowdoin tends to be liberal but there are certainly a lot of people who aren’t very politically active. But, the college democrats do organize a bunch of things and try to get people involved, so you could become more involved if you wanted to.</p>
