<p>What is the Bowdoin student body like? I know it’s outdoorsy. Also wealthy/preppy?</p>
<p>Yeah, I guess, in general, that description works. Preppy is definitely accurate, but I don't think that wealthy should necessarily be used to describe the student body. Certainly, many students are wealthy, but I don't think people dwell on that really--it isn't as if it's a topic of conversation. I actually don't know which of my friends are very wealthy, because it just isn't something that people really talk about. I could guess, I suppose, but people here generally aren't very snobby so it doesn't really matter. So yes, wealth is definitely present here, but I don't find it to be a really important aspect of the description of the student body. If I had to describe the student body, I would say it's genereally outdoorsy, hard-working, intelligent, laid-back and fun.</p>
<p>That works for me:) -too bad it's so damn hard to transfer into...</p>
