Sure

see below

Thank you. Those are the pics from Mcmasters website, I guess I'll just have to wait until I get there to see more of it =). Thanks again by the way.

I unfortunately haven't been in Bates, so I don't have any photos of the inside personally... but Ron Levitin posted up a photo of a room in Bates up on Facebook (see attached). Thanks Ron! I noticed you're already part of that FB group Ailvi, so you've probably already seen the pic

Mmmm hmm, I've seen those pictures, I guess I wanted something more exclusive lol :p

lol, I'll do some hunting.

Oh nooo, it's okay, I don't want you to go to the trouble. I can wait a month and a half or so lol. I thought there would have been some pictures because I think I saw some more from the other ones, like Hedden or something. Thanks again though

Danielle was a Welcome Week rep for Bates last year, she might have some pics to share

Danielle? Is she also in the FB group? Maybe I should drive there one day soon lol, I still haven't seen Mcmaster yet.

I'm not sure if she's in the FB group, I haven't checked. But she's been posting helpful info in a few of the McMaster '11 groups. You can view her profile here and send her a private message if you want. She started all these residence info threads hehe

You haven't seen Mac yet? You should come for a tour!

If you want to wait a bit, come on August 10th for Welcome Day, there will be plenty to do and they'll be giving tours..

Welcome Day @ Mac - August 10th 2007
You and your family are invited to Welcome Day @ Mac for a chance to see the campus and learn about the community and support services available to you. In small groups, one-on-one conversations, and interactive programs, you will learn about and understand the transitional issues you may face in moving from high school to university.

But always feel free to come down and walk around campus anytime!

Yeah, her posts were helpful lolI've been wanting to go since foreverrr, but I haven't had the oppourtunity to go and I really want to see Bates soon. I want to see what a 6 bedroom looks like because that's what I got!

If you go to mac on a tour then you can most likely get to go into the rez to take a look around, but if you go on your own the rez will be locked and you won't be able to see in it. So if you're wanting to take a look inside, try and plan it out so you can go when the rez will be available to peek inside

Oh really? I heard that they don't let you in to res during the summer time.. or maybe I misinterpreted what they said.. but I really want to seee!
