[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mixed feelings on Bates tour. They separated the kids from parents on the tour. Interesting concept but it didn’t over especially well. Kids were silent. Surrounding area also not a draw. [/quote]

Interesting.  That was not our experience.  We were not separated at all.  Seemed like a great school and had a great tour guide who even told us he almost transferred but was so glad that he hadn’t bc in the end he found everything he needed.  [/quote]

When we toured they did separate the kids from the parents, which I actually liked.  It gave the kids a chance to ask questions without their parents around.  Also, some parents tend to dominate tours so it was nice for the kids to get away from them.  I can understand the mixed feelings about the area but it didn't bother my kid and it ended up as their first choice (in their junior year now). The info session was one of the best we went to and the tour guides were really nice, down to earth seeming students.  It definitely isn't the right school for everyone but we really didn't expect our kid to love it (too small, too far from a major city) but sometimes you never know.  Didn't hurt that it was a beautiful fall day.  [/quote]
