L ECTURE HAL L
Boundless . . . your boundless curiosity meets our depth of knowledge, and your passion to learn meets ours to teach. This is what Bridgewater is about. Possibility. Whether you’re working on a problem that may take a lifetime to answer, or a project that will deliver the knowledge you can put to work before you graduate—it’s about opportunity. It’s about the kind of personalized guidance most schools can barely imagine. And it’s about producing leaders with the depth of knowledge, breadth of skills, and level of character that employers and graduate schools want.

CHEM IS TRY
Living and learning at Bridgewater extends far beyond classroom and dorm walls. It’s about truly belonging to a community. Trying new foods, making new friends, discovering new interests, experiencing what it’s like rooming with a West Coaster when you’re an East Coaster, honing your leadership skills as a part of Eagle Productions. These are the possibilities that are around every corner at Bridgewater. Whether you commute or live on campus, you’ll find yourself part of a varied and friendly community with opportunities that are . . . boundless.
Meal plans for commuters. Easy meal transfers from the main dining hall to the Eagle’s Nest. Putting your parents’ Saturday brunch on your card. Fair trade coffee and tea. Cage-free eggs. Sustainably harvested fish. There’s so much that tastes good, feels good, and does good when you share a table at Bridgewater.

OFF ICE HOURS
It may happen at a backyard barbecue. Or on a casual walk across campus. It might come as you sit and relax on a front porch. Or during a pickup game of basketball at the Funkhouser Center. Wherever it happens, it’s a crucial element to your Bridgewater experience. Mentoring. Advising. Guidance. The faculty at Bridgewater are truly “teachers” in every sense of the word. They’ll provide you with that extra dose of help while never letting you forget that, at Bridgewater, our expectations for you are . . . boundless.
“Bridgewater has a great community feel—friendly, small, supportive. Faculty members keep their doors open for students.”
Dr. Bob Andersen, Professor of International Studies
Dr. Larry Taylor, Associate Professor of Music

EXAMSWhile you prepare for the rest of your life, you are living it. Pausing, thinking, reflecting—even challenging yourself to live to your ideals—are skills you can hone, habits you can build, character you can deepen intentionally during your college years. Throughout these four years, all Bridgewater students are working on their own Personal Development Portfolio (PDP), where the critical thinking you learn in class finds a practical use in your journey to being a well-rounded citizen, a passionate leader, a healthy member of the global community . . . boundless.
“PDP really lets me sit back and think of all the things I did and the people I met. It’s helped me see how I can apply what I learned in a communications class to my future work.”

You can get in tune with other students in many ways: chorale, Flawless Hip Hop Dance Team, jazz band, even the Screaming Eagles Pep Band. Almost half of Bridgewater students play an intramural sport. Eagle Productions, our acclaimed student activities group, brings performers to campus and puts on events like Winter Carnival, cosmic bowling, and “BC Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?” There are honor societies and clubs around academic majors. Students in Free Enterprise, Ultimate Frisbee, Young Democrats, and the Lift Your Voice Gospel Choir. Working with others, you can gain leadership skills, get some exercise, make music, and have fun. With 70 student clubs—as well as an abundance of intramural programs, leagues, and tournaments—you’ll discover that the opportunities to get out and enjoy life at Bridgewater are . . . boundless.

To really learn, you need to get your hands dirty. You need to test yourself in the field. Try on a job through an internship or a service project. Do research. Test your hypotheses. From the outstanding physiology labs and classrooms in McKinney Center for Science and Mathematics to daily life in any of our 11 student residence facilities, learning at Bridgewater never stops. You can find the day-to-day work that energizes you, the people you want to serve, and the ongoing questions that will continue to drive you long after you graduate. Like Will Garrett, a liberal studies major, who went from wanting to teach high school math to focusing on elementary education because he found how much he liked working with kids. Our students have futures that are . . . boundless.

Our pre-med advisors, pre-med club, and friendly and supportive community mean Bridgewater has enjoyed an excellent tradition of its students getting into medical school.
“Because we’re a liberal arts school, I’ve studied more than health. I’ve studied psychology and anthropology, and taken a January Interterm music course in New Orleans. These are things that will distinguish me and make me more prepared for my career in health care.”
Kimberly Cicotello, Allied Health Science, Nutrition & Wellness
