<p>We have visited over a dozen schools since June. We are down to three or four right now. I must say Bates has such a nice vibe. Relaxed, friendly people all over and by far the best food. No food was even close of the schools we visited. Muhlenberg also had very good food. Bates is such a nice place and such an excellent school.</p>
<p>The other nice thing about NESCAC schools is that they stick together in the real world. So when you go to one you have the advantage of going to them all, so to speak. That is a real advantage once you graduate.</p>
