Located in Lewiston, Maine's second-largest city, Bates College is accessible by car or plane.  You're welcome on campus anytime, but we recommend that you plan ahead so that you can talk to students, join a tour, and meet with an admissions counselor.  In any case, be sure to check out our class schedule, our monthly calendar or Bates Daily for current campus events.

Before your visit, you may want to read about Lewiston's 2007 All-America award, and even more, discover Lots to Gardens, an organization vital to this honor and founded by a Bates alum.
