Lived in Bates West.. almost as crappy as bates, but apartment style haha.

I can honestly say that I enjoyed my time living there. Sure, the roaches were a problem but I had a great time in Bates West. My floor was really close.. people never closed their doors except during quiet hours. We all just kind of hung out and played guitar hero/rockstar in each other's rooms. Patterson girls always hung out in Bates West for some reason. Moths to a flame.

Yeah it was far AF.. but there was something about being that far away from everybody else that made it feel like we were in our own little world down there. It was like we had our own thing going away from the hustle and bustle of central campus. I can't really explain it, but I'm sure anybody that lived in Bates, BW or the Roost knows what I'm talking about.
