About Boody-Johnson House

Boody-Johnson House is one of Bowdoin College's College Houses — a combined house formed from two adjacent historic buildings — housing approximately 25–35 students with a live-in Head of House. The house features a shared kitchen, comfortable common spaces, and semi-private bathrooms. No central AC; the Brunswick, Maine climate requires heating from October through April, and the brief summer months are mild enough to forgo cooling. Boody-Johnson's combined two-building structure gives it slightly more common space than the smaller single-building College Houses, making it particularly welcoming for the weekly community dinners and informal events that are the hallmark of Bowdoin's house system.

Boody-Johnson House has no air conditioning. Students here often pick up:
