Dorm selection

Hi!

Just wondering if anyone had any information about the dorming process for incoming freshman. When does it start and what should I expect? Also, do I get any say in which dorms I pick? Which dorms are more desirable?

I’m pretty sure you don’t get any say in your dorm choice, but if you have special circumstances, let Res Life know. Bates chooses your roommate based on the questionnaire, I believe. I’m pretty sure they are nowhere newr ready to assign dorms yet. I imagine they begin that once they have recieved all the questionnaires back. Probably mid-summer?

When my S was there (2011-15) he submitted his top 3 dorm choices and got into his first choice. Don’t know if that is still the system they use.
