That’s a really surprising comment. I know MANY students there who are very, very happy. Bates was on the list for both my kids. One got accepted at another school ED and one got in but chose another school. I’ve never heard any talk of a pretentious or unaccepting attitude from anyone. Most people view it as the opposite which was the draw for my own kids as they were looking for a close-knit, noncompetitive but intellectually curious atmosphere. In fact, I consider it the least pretentious and most accepting of the 3 Maine LACs.

I’d highly suggest checking it out further.
