:]</p>
<p>As in...your visit?? </p>
<p>You definitely have to write a long account so the non-able-to-visit people can have a prospie's perspective on it!</p>
<p>Hey! Sorry for the lateeeee reponse-but in a nutshell</p>
<p>Stayed at Bates for about 3 days during Oct. Roomed with 2 girls in Cheney (it's kinda like a house and its a bit 'off' campus, ya gotta walk a bit, no biggie.) It's a nice place to live-only prob was some of the bathrooms, yuck. Went to a few classes-really enjoyed Calculus and a first year seminar called 'Fantastic in Japan.' From what I've seen, most ppl like it there-maybe except the minorities sometimes (theres only literally only 4-5% minorities in Bates.) Didn't really get into the extraccurics/social scene since I was only there for a few days. Campus is gorgeous, but it was a little rainy when I was there. I'm not sure there's much going on in the Lewiston-Auburn area, so it's very likely that students get stuck in this 'college bubble.' However, I hear there are plenty of trips to Boston, NYC, Philly. That's it for now, back to calculus hw!</p>
