<p>From those who go there, what’s the atmosphere / attitude at Bowdoin? Are students friendly, intense, laid back ? How would you compare (if you know, from experience, not legend or from what you’ve read here) to Bates, Colby, Middlebury, Vassar, Amherst, Williams student environments?</p>
<p>Allow me to point you to a few previous posts, rather than re-invent the wheel...</p>
