Virtual Tours

Ask a Student
We encourage you to have ongoing contact with a current Bowdoin student, one who has first-hand insight and can tell you about the professors, the course load, campus housing, the social life, and the ins and outs of life at Bowdoin.
An interview is strongly encouraged, but not required, as part of the application process.
Interviews are available to anyone applying for first-year admission for the fall of 2025. (Interviews are not available to transfer students unless you are a US veteran or military member.) The interviewer will guide the course of your give-and-take conversation, and there will be plenty of time for you to ask questions.
