Admissions

We know that you'll have questions that can't be answered just by our website or literature. After all, you want to know what it's like to BE here. Learning about Bowdoin from a student's perspective can be valuable. Here's an opportunity to have ongoing contact with a current Bowdoin student, one who has first-hand insight and can tell you about the professors, the courseload, campus housing, the social life, the ins-and-outs. The students below are available via email to answer all of your questions.

Jordan Francke ‘13

Hometown: Henderson, KY / Presque Isle, ME
Major: Neuroscience
Minor: Spanish

Email Jordan

I was born in Henderson, KY and then moved to Presque Isle, ME when I was ten years old.  After visiting Bowdoin for a weekend during the college application process, I quickly realized that Bowdoin would be the perfect place for me to go to college. I'm a neuroscience major with hopes of pursuing a career in medicine following my time at Bowdoin. I'm a proctor (a First-Year RA) for Residential Life, a vice president of Bowdoin Student Government, and a Tour Guide. I'm also very involved with the McKeen Center, Bowdoin's on-campus center for civic engagement. Feel free to email me with any questions or concerns you have about the Bowdoin experience!

Samantha Bonnel '14

Hometown: New York, NY
Major: Sociology & Music
Minor: Education

Email Samantha

I'd never thought that I would leave New York City for a college in a small town in Maine, but I couldn't ignore all that Bowdoin has to offer - and I've never been happier. I plan on declaring a double major in Music and Sociology with a teaching minor in Education. Following my graduation, I hope to teach and work in education policy. But for now, I'm a member of the Chamber Choir, as well as Minister of Public Relations for the African-American Society. I'm also involved with the Bowdoin Queer-Straight Alliance, World Music Ensemble, and several other groups on campus. Please don't hesitate to email me with any questions about life at this great college!
