Bowdoin: The Good, the Bad, and the Honest
If you're looking to avoid the city for a few years and don't want to be another little fish in a big pond, Bowdoin is a solid locale. Odds are you're going to be sucking down urban/suburban smog for a good portion of your life, so if you enjoy winter sports (ski season is late Nov. to late Apr.) or are looking for a laid back East Coast atmosphere with plenty of brains to go around, it definitely might be for you.

Bowdoin: Bowdoin is the school
Before you choose Bowdoin you have to ask yourself a few questions. Do I want to be at a small school (less than 2,000 students)? Do I want to be in Maine (no large cities within 3 hrs; Portland a 1/2 hour but limited options)? Am I interested in a liberal arts education? If you don't answer yes to all of the above Bowdoin is not for you.
