Welcome to Student Housing and Residential Life at Bates College! The Housing Office oversees many aspects of residential life at Bates. We assign incoming first-years to rooms and roommates and oversee all aspects of student room selection. On the following web pages you will find information regarding each campus residence. Incoming first-year students are encouraged to follow the link to our First Year Housing page and explore the various housing options that Bates has to offer. Upper-class students are invited to review these pages for more information on Bates housing options and policies. We look forward to assisting you in your transition to Bates College housing. For more information, stop by the Housing Office in Chase Hall, call us at 207-786-6215, or e-mail the office at housing@bates.edu.
