Overview
A small, liberal arts college in the Quaker tradition and the first racially integrated, co-ed college in the East, Bates has long been one of the finest liberal arts colleges in the country. While the college experience at Bates is unifying and bond-building for undergrads, Bates is in steep competition with its two Maine neighbors – Bowdoin and Colby.
