Destination: Bowdoin
Bowdoin is a vibrant residential college nestled in a small, active New England town, but that is just the beginning. Our location places a wealth of landscapes and environments at our fingertips: To the south we have easy access to city life in Portland and Boston; to the north is the rich tradition of communities who have lived off the land for generations; to the west is the playground of lakes, rivers, and mountains; and to the east is the coastline representing so much that is central to the world’s issues today, from global warming and the health of our oceans to honoring and preserving the world’s beautiful landscapes.
The truth is that four years is not enough time to explore and enjoy this place…but it’s a good start.
