The faculty recently voted to end our credit/d/fail options on distribution requirements; this decision outraged many student. The student government is currently addressing the problem.

Professors are incredible! They're all very flexible; they all know you by name; and they're all more than willing to help you, in any way possible.

Students at Bowdoin are not openly competitive, though it is quite apparent that many students (especially those aspiring to gain medical school admission) are "closet" competitors.

Academics at Bowdoin are very rigorous. Some students do well, most students struggle, and a small percent of students fail and are asked to leave the college (for a semester or more)

Students wear whatever they feel like. Most of the time, I see students in sweat pants and t-shirts.

LGBT are well supported on campus and there are plenty of ways to get involved in educating other students and community members.

Students come from a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds.

A large percentage of student play sports but most students do not watch sports. Are last pep rally was lackluster at best.

Typical weekends at Bowdoin include going to social houses (Bowdoin's version of frat/sor. houses) for different social activities and dancing at the pub. Several groups also perform throughout the weekends.

Students have a lot of homework during the weekends, however, Bowdoin the majority of students have the "work hard-play hard" mentality.

That most students are stuck up and/or rich.

Bowdoin should have no stereotypes attached to it. There is no typical Bowdoin and there is no atypical Bowdoin student-- we're all very different, but we all have similar goals. Everyone is very friendly.

We recently eliminated loans-- Bowdoin is taking huge steps to ensure the future of low-income and minority students' presence on campus.
