Things I Wish I Knew Before Coming to Bates

Sign up for a science class (or two) your freshman year.

Get your PE credits out of the way as soon as possible.

There is nothing to do in Lewiston.

Don't buy your computer or bed linen from the school.

Bring a PC if you can (if anything goes wrong with a Mac, no one will know how to help you).

Call your roommate before you get to campus (you both might show up with refrigerators).

Bring a Hot Pot (they're indispensable).

The main doors in Pettengill are push (not pull!) when you're going out.
