Hey guys. I was accepted into Bowdoin for the class of 2020 and was wondering what the dating is like for a gay male at the school… I’m an athlete and love the focus on athletics at the school, and I’m sure everybody there is accepting as it’s an LAC, but I wanted to know if anyone thinks dating there would be possible. Is there a large enough population of LGTB students? My sexuality certainly doesn’t define me or where I’ll go to school, but it would be good to know what the atmosphere is like at Bowdoin. Thanks!
This website probably isn’t the best place to talk about dating. The reason this site is called “college confidential” is because the people who go on here went, or are either planning to go, to college. People who go to college, particularly those who graduate college, are academically ambitious, and people who are academically ambitious tend to be too nerdy to know much about social things like dating. In general, the more academically-oriented someone is, the more introverted they tend to be. I’m not saying this is the case with everybody, but it is a common trend. People who are serious enough to pursue education beyond high school are probably going to be too serious for things like dating. Also, people who are in college are probably going to be too busy for dating anyway. It isn’t like high school, where you can not work hard and graduate anyway.
