For the past four years I have had my eye on Bowdoin. Because my sister was enrolled there, I was able to get a firsthand look at what the school had to offer. What I saw reminded me a lot of Millbrook. It is a smaller school with a friendly and welcoming campus and student body, and the sense of community was palpable. Having enjoyed my high school experience, I knew I wanted something similar at college. I want to be at a school that will allow me to make lasting connections, and I feel like I will be able to do that at Bowdoin. At Millbrook I was encouraged to explore my passions and given the space to cultivate those talents on my own. Having the ability to freely explore my creativity allowed me to create things that were truly unique and personal. I look forward to taking that next level by enrolling in those classes that push my boundaries and get me out of my comfort zone and create opportunities to grow as a student and artist.
