Bates Hoi
KAREN LAYNE News Editor
Bates House residents attribute their closeknit
community to two mq'ar factors: the strength
of their hall's programs and the length of the
1 ! J J.1 L ?T
onage w ine rest 01 campus.
"We're around each other so much," said
Brooke Lariviere, a business administration
freshman. "We live so far out away from
everything."
Proximity to the rest of campus isn't one of
the hall's strengths, but residents only have to
^ hike downstairs to a cafeteria and computer lab.
"We eat together, live together, and a lot of
us end up close" said Michelle Reardon, a political
science freshman. So close that everyone knows
when Bates buddies paths' cross on campus by
the tell-tale "Bates House" call.
Bates House President Zach Dryman said
many of the 450 students participate in the hall's
programs, which include leadership seminars,
TV nights and their twist on MTVs "Singled
Out."
"Nobo'dy's in their rooms," Dryman said.
They're in someone else's room. We're more tight
^ than any other dorms."
