<p>Hi!</p>
<p>I’m an international student from Bulgaria, and I did not have the opportunity to visit the campus. If you went there, what impressed you the most? How would you describe the atmosphere there? Any inputs would be helpful:)</p>
<p>I visited Bates, oh, about a year ago (more or less), and here's my 2c:</p>
<p>The atmosphere's amazing; everyone is friendly and interested in you (sure, you can say that about every school, but it seems pretty sincere at Bates). Campus is a suburban one in a Maine mill-town: Lewiston, ME, has seen better days but it's not so bad. It has somewhat of a historic feel to it with some Victorian (or so I thought) houses....The only problem with Bates/Maine might be the bitterly cold weather in winter and rainy and cold springs - then again if you like the cold (like me) it's not a problem.</p>
<p>So yeah, that's all I can remember, hope that helps.</p>
<p>It doesn't have the prettiest campus I've seen...It's very nice though.</p>
<p>thanks, guys:)</p>
