<p>I’m an incoming freshman who’s beginning to get my belongings together for college. My linens arrived yesterday and I printed off the list of “Things to Bring” from the Bates website. </p>
<p>My main concern at this point is clothes. I try to avoid wearing pants whenever possible; I prefer skirts and dresses. I just find them more comfortable. I plan on buying a bunch of different colored leggings to go underneath and boots from Minnetonka (such as: <a href=“http://www.moccasinsales.com/minnetonka_womens_boots.htm[/url]”>http://www.moccasinsales.com/minnetonka_womens_boots.htm</a>). I also have rain boots, rain coats, and jackets, although I’m not certain they’re heavy enough to truly protect me from Maine winters. Do any current Batesies, alums, parents, or posters from schools with climates similar to Maine have advice as to what to wear? Thanks so much!</p>
