Short Term!

“Last week we went to Nezinscot, which is in Turner, Maine and it is an organic, environmentally sustainable farm. We ate their goat cheese and Brie, and sipped fresh squeezed orange juice. We even got to hold their new baby lamb. We came back to Bates and read and did homework on the [...]

Beautiful Bates

“Short term continues to be beyond excellent. Everyone has been enjoying the wonderful weather and been frolicking in the great outdoors. In the past couple days I have read from a book titled Africanisms in American Culture, watched an outdoor concert by two of Bates’ a cappela groups (the Crosstones + the Manic Optimists), played [...]

Back Home

“My week at Bates was definitely a good one. I made frequent visits to Range Pond, attended some great BBQs, chilled with friends on Frye St. porches until the early morning, and had a great final Crosstones concert.

Short Term Morale

“I forgot how nice Short Term is. Honestly. Once the snow melts, the sun is out, and finals are over, everyone really seems footloose and fancy-free. I mean, turtlenecks and scarves aren’t preventing people from saying hi, nor obstructing their usual friendly smile. Plus, Dairy Joy being open is a MAJOR plus.” To read what [...]

Relaxing Term

“While I’m not taking a class for short term this year, I’ve been on campus this week preparing for an a capella concert, packing up all of my stuff, and enjoying the fruits of short term. Because everyone is only taking one class this semester – and most classes don’t meet every day, my friends [...]

First Day of Short Term

“I had my first day of short term yesterday and it was awesome. My class only met from 1-3 yesterday so I started off the day by sleeping in. It was so nice to wake up on my own on a school day without the use of an alarm clock. I woke feeling very refreshed [...]
