here I was able to buy a great used car in 2015 on favorable terms. This is my first car, so I did not choose a newer year for myself. Now I have the opportunity to quickly move around the city and I even got a part-time job as a pizza delivery man.' color='color=#675083' > |
Major: (This Major's Salary over time)
While Bates College is a great school, there's one thing that all applicants should know -- this college is very small and the surrounding city is not great at all. I'm from NYC and to come to Lewiston, ME was horrible for the first semester. No car and no where to go = bored out of my mind. But after making a few friends who were impulsive and had cars, it was much better. We would go out on midnight runs and everything, but most people on campus prefer to stay on campus. I don't -- it's pretty but there's not much to do... Also, if you're shy, it'll be hard to assimilate at first, but you'll find your niche and fit in. Once that happens, it's a wonderful experience. Just make sure to keep opportunities open and to have fun. I met my friends at parties and just through other people; I can't imagine college without them anymore. Regarding academics, I came from a rigorous high school curriculum, so the work is not very hard for me; I even have time to be alone and have fun an hour or so a day. Again, it all depends on your major.
