Living at Bates

Bates Complex, located on South Campus, houses 360 students, of all class years, in 60 six-person apartments and provides students with a more independent living area. (For fall 2020, all students are housed in single bedroom accommodations. Lounges are closed this semester.)

There are two types of apartments: "flats" which are single-level apartments and "townhouses" which are two-level apartments. Each flat has three double rooms. Most townhouses are also set up with three double rooms. However, a small number have two double rooms and two single rooms. Every apartment includes two bathrooms, a kitchen with a full-size stove and refrigerator, and a living area.
