How diverse does Bates feel? Is the atmosphere one of tolerance? Do minorities feel comfortable there? Any comments welcome. My daughter is Asian-American. How diverse does Bates feel?

but can someone help me with this?

does Bates have different addresses for Office of Admission and Office of Financial Aid?
Should I just put everything into 1 envelope and send everything to Bates (2 Andrews Road)
Or must I send in the application form separately from the Finaid documents?

outside the envelope, what should I put? Like applicant's name? address? contact?

and how do we know whether the school has received or not?\\

thanks ]]> Bates College hbrad8002-249524 http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/bates-college/798746-how-send-application-documents-bates.html http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/bates-college/789893-would-i-fit-bates.html Wed, 07 Oct 2009 00:59:32 GMT I sort of get the vibe that Bates is kind of Jock/Outdoorsy school...I like the school a lot but I really am not a die hard hiker/kayaker/etc. or an athletics person by any means!
