Bowdoin students come in many varieties yet they share one common trait; they all the drink. There are the studious asians from all over the globe who take chemistry, math, and science classes and actually take advantage of Bowdoin's curriculum. There there are the drinkers. They get drunk Wednesday through Sunday, every week. Then there are the athletes who drink in and out of season although not to the extent of the non sport boozers. Girls come in two types; sports team groupies and prudes. The former will have at least made out with, if not slept with, every member of the basketball, football, hockey, or lacrosse team. Colloquialisms for such girls are puck sluts or laxstitutes. The other kind of girl rarely puts out but yet gets drunk all the time. If your not on the hockey team, you actually have to try to get laid. Bowdoin students are also known to be smart and academically motivating. Bowdoin girls are also supposed to ugly. This couldn't' be more true.
