Situated in the picturesque Maine town of Brunswick, Bowdoin College is a place where emphasis on health and wellness is equal to the academic pursuit.

Close to the Maine coastline and just 30 minutes from Portland, Bowdoin College's location provides students a vibrant setting with opportunities for outdoor exploration and city pleasures.
Bowdoin's curriculum is well-designed to allow you to extensively explore your academic interests, culminating in a senior project which is an embodiment of your intellectual passions. Over 33 majors and 4 additional minors, Bowdoin has a faculty ratio of 9:1, fostering a closely-knit educational environment promoting personal interaction with professors. Add to this the vibrant student life, exemplified by the Peer Health Leaders, who play an integral role in driving the health and wellness initiative and you have an education that is holistic, nurturance towards nurturing overall human development.
Diversity is in the DNA of Bowdoin College. The students, hailing from various corners of the United States and several other countries, herald an amalgamation of unparalleled cultural richness. Indian students shouldn't feel out of place, as International students make up around 11% of the total student body, contributing invaluable global perspectives. Language and writing assistance, career guidance and dedicated counseling support are amongst various aids that bridge any transitional gap for incoming international students.
One compelling aspect which Indian parents will be keen on being acquainted with is the ‘No Loan’ policy of Bowdoin. Financial aid administered to international students is need-based and the College endeavours to cater to 100% of the demonstrated financial need through scholarships and grants, not loans. Hence, a Bowdoin education is not restricted by financial capabilities, paving the way to an educational endeavour that is accessible to all.
