WHAT I LIKED
The professors are incredible and I like the type of community a small school creates.
WHAT I didn’t LIKE
The facilities aren’t always great, not the older ones at least, and even though the dining hall is highly ranked I don’t think it’s very good.

WHAT I didn’t LIKE
Some of the information given by tour guides and on the websites can be a little misleading. There is not a great amount of diversity at Bates and very little to no nightlife in the town.
While we do our best to show up-to-date information, due to COVID-19 and other factors out of our control, it is possible that the data we are showing about test requirements, application deadlines, and more, are inaccurate. Please verify with the college itself via their website to ensure you are aware of all requirements and deadlines.
