[quote=Anonymous]DS is a current sophomore at Bowdoin.  He loves it and calls it home.  He is a non-athlete and has a nice group of friends (athletes and non).  He takes advantage of outing club activities.  He played a little bit of rugby in HS and works out periodically with the team....just because it is fun.  He doesn't want to play right now, the guys welcome him with open arms -- the attitude is "the more the merrier"

Bowdoin is very accessible - Amtrak station next to campus, flights from Portland and Boston

The best thing he enjoys about Bowdoin is the focus on learning, interesting and challenging classes; and, access to professors.  Office hours are a big deal.  He has found they always make time to answer questions, talk, explore new ideas, asking thoughtful questions to direct and advance thinking.  His favorite story -- Last semester he caught one prof. toward the end of an office hours and instead of telling him to come back later as the prof needed to get across campus for a meeting, the prof offered our son a cup of coffee, invited him to  "walk and talk" -- in a 10 minute walk DS had his questions answered, learned about the research the prof. was engaged in and a shared interest in House of the Dragon.

We also looked at Willams, Middlebury and Colby -- Bowdoin was the right fit for him.  Good luck[/quote]
