Guided Campus Tours
Begin your visit with an introduction and a Q&A with a Bowdoin Admissions officer. Then, join a student-led tour that highlights academic and student life on campus. Preregistration is required for information sessions and tours.
Virtual Tour
Immerse yourself on campus. Take a self-paced virtual tour of the main campus, arts, or athletic facilities.
Explore Bowdoin
If you are a low-income and/or first-generation-to-college member of the Class of 2026, then Explore Bowdoin is for you.
Maine Day
Whether you're from five minutes or five hours away, you might be surprised to learn that everything you want in a college—and more—is right here in Brunswick. Maine high school students are invited to join us for Maine Day this fall.
Group Tours
If you are a school or community-based organization who would like to bring a group of students to Bowdoin for a tour, submit your group tour request.
Self-Guided Campus Tours
If you're visiting at a time when a student-led tour is not offered, you can take a self-guided tour with an audio guide to accompany your visit. Maps are available just to the left of the entrance to the Admissions building and are accessible 24/7.
Bowdoin in your area
Our Admissions staff travels throughout the US and abroad to meet with interested students and counselors.
An interview is strongly encouraged, but not required, as part of the application process.
Interviews are available for anyone applying for first-year admission for the fall of 2026. We ask that international students submit their application before requesting an interview. (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.
On Campus or Virtual
Students applying for admission for fall 2026 entry can request an in-person or virtual interview with a Bowdoin admissions officer or student starting later this spring. Registration is required. Due to high demand, international students are asked to submit their application before requesting an interview.
Interviews with Bowdoin Alumni
Virtual interviews are available with Bowdoin alumni across the world from early September through the application deadline (Nov. 15 for ED1 applicants, Jan. 6 for ED2 and RD applicants). These are official admissions interviews and are a great way to learn more about the College. Due to high demand, international students are asked to submit their application before requesting an interview.
Veterans and Current Members of the US Military
Request a virtual interview by using the veteran interview request form. Please refer to the form for deadlines.
