Friday was the last day Bowdoin College students were on campus this semester.Students are headed home for Thanksgiving Break and will finish their fall classes remotely."Fall semester has gone very well for us,” Bowdoin College President Clayton Rose said.The college has seen 10 positive COVID-19 cases out of 33,000 tests conducted and no community spread, Rose said.Only freshmen and other students with challenging home environments have been on campus, which represents about 36% of students.While those students have been on campus, their classes have been online, with the exception of freshman writing seminars.After the fall semester ends, there will be a 10-week break. The spring semester won’t begin until the second week of February.During the spring semester, Bowdoin freshmen will remain home, while sophomores, juniors and seniors will return to campus. They will be housed in dorms with no roommates."They will be tested before they arrive, tested three times a week for the first couple of weeks while they're here, and we will have a much more restrictive set of rules and procedures for students, faculty and staff to engage with one another,” Rose said.Rose said only 176 students, or 9% of the college’s full enrollment of 1,990, opted out."We had a much higher enrollment than I thought we would have; we had far fewer students who took a gap semester or a gap year,” Rose said.Despite the lack of in-person interaction with professors and canceled sports, arts and extracurricular events, tuition remains $56,000 per year. "We can deliver an excellent Bowdoin education online and deliver an excellent Bowdoin education in a COVID environment on campus,” Rose said.Rose’s biggest worry is if coronavirus is still raging when the spring semester is set to begin in February.Departing freshmen Loftin Propst, of Atlanta, saw his experience this semester as half-full."When I realized what it was going to be like last year, it definitely met my expectations, and it's been really nice, given the circumstances," Propst said.Propst said he still hopes things can return to normal on campus next fall.
