I really enjoyed my 4 years at Bowdoin. Many of my best friends to this day were classmates from those years. The campus is beautiful, you're close to the ocean, the outing club has weekly trips (Katahdin, sailing, sea kayaking, Appalachian Trail, snowshoeing/xc skiing, etc.) that you can go on for basically free.

That being said, it's a tiny school (just over 1800 kids now but was just over 1600 when I was there) which is both good (you know basically everyone) and bad (you know basically everyone). Sometimes, I felt that I missed out on the big-time college campus scene.

I was happy to go to ND for law school and live in a hall as an AR because I felt like I got to see that side of college life as well.
