I am a freshman at Bowdoin too and I would agree completely with her assessment of Brunswick. Its a quiet suburban town with a cool downtown along Maine Street. I also have been running in the nearby neighborhoods, which seemed pretty typical suburbia to me. This definitely isnt a college town that shuts down June-August because the kids arent there. Brunswick is also along a sizeable river with old mills and a hyrdoelectric dam dotting its shores. All in all, its everything you could want in a college town.

Momoney-I really dont know the translation of old to new SATs, but a general rule of thumb would be if you SATs drastically differ from the rest of the app, dont send them. I wouldnt get too hung up about the SATs for Bowdoin. Its just a test of your mutliple choice ability, and Bowdoin recognizes this, and thats why the test is optional. If you send them, it just allows them to see a different dimension of you as a person.
