<p>How is the history department? Are the profs engaging and involved? Do you feel there’s a good selection of courses every year?</p>
<p>I’m going to be a freshman next year, and I’ve only heard good things about the department. I’m pretty sure history is the third most popular major on campus after Government and Economics.</p>
<p>where does the biology rank among the favortie and most popular subjects? how about physics?
thanks</p>
<p>Bowdoin’s most popular majors are English, history, economics, gov, and biology. Not sure about the physics. You can check out their links:</p>
<p>Bio: [Biology</a> (Bowdoin)](<a href=“http://www.bowdoincollege.edu/biology/index.shtml]Biology”>http://www.bowdoincollege.edu/biology/index.shtml)
Physics/Astronomy: [Physics</a> and Astronomy (Bowdoin)](<a href=“http://www.bowdoin.edu/physics/index.shtml]Physics”>http://www.bowdoin.edu/physics/index.shtml)</p>
<p>according to the Fiske guide, Physics majors have the lowest average GPA of any major. I am not sure if that has to do with the fact that physics in general is hard or it is especially hard at Bowdoin</p>
