<p>No one has posted on the Bates forum for a while so…
Where is everyone from?
I’m from Long Island, New York</p>
<p>I am going, already paid deposit.</p>
<p>Korean from Beijing, China. Haha : )</p>
<p>I’m completely not sure. I realize the deadline is next week but I’m stuck between Bates and CC. The problem is, although I visited Bates this past summer, I haven’t had the opportunity to visit it overnight, stay with a student and really be ale to see what it’d be like living there next year. I did at CC and the one major thing which bugged me is all the students obviously have money, they dress up for class everyday, etc (I want a laid back school, where the norm is shorts and a t-shirt)
What was your experience at Bates?</p>
<p>I didn’t do an overnight but when i visited for the admitted student days, everyone seemed really nice. Of course there are going to be people with money, but Bates gives great aid so there will be people from all backgrounds. Also, I think bates has a reputation of being really laid back.</p>
