<p>I’m trying to choose between UCSD and Bates. Can anyone tell me what’s good and bad. Also, if you know, can you tell me about Bates’ students acceptance rates to law school?</p>
<p>Well UCSD and Bates are very different schools. Bates is a much smaller, all undergraduate college with great professors. It is located in Maine, which might be a problem if you are from California. Still, the cold weather brings many people together and creates a very friendly atmosphere on campus. I don't know much about UCSD but I don't think you would get the same feeling there.</p>
<p>I'll second the part with the cold - if you don't like it (or not used to it), there might be trouble. Maine winters are long, cold, and dark- from my expirience. I love winter, but am a little worried of adjusting back into it after spending a year in warmth of Australia :)
It all depends if you want a big university or a small, liberal arts college. Pretty much it's a personal preference.</p>
