Bates Life

Candid portraits of everyday student life at Bates College

The Livin’s Easy

“Just a few days ago, one of my best friends at Bates made the trek to Chicago to check out the city and visit me and a couple other Batesies who reside in this great place. Everyone else had just seen her, seeing as though they all just got back from Short Term, but it was really great for me to sit back and chill with my Maine Squeeze and rehash the year. We ran around the city, from seeing B.B. King at the Blues Fest to checking out the set to the movie Johny Depp’s filming this summer. It made me really excited for school in the fall and visiting my Bates pals in NYC in August.” Read more about Naima’s summer fun HERE.
