Unfortunately, it doesn't have times. |

Everyone was given out a package during the orientation week and in that package was a calendar. If you go to the month of September, look at the 4th and it shows what residences are moving in that day. Bates is one of them.
Hope this helps.

Yeah, the dates are right then. You'll have to wait until Housing releases all the times for move-in, since you move at a certain time during the day depending on your floor. This just facilitates move-in.
But knowing the date is good enough and really helpful, in case your parents need to take a day off for example.

Just bring a fan, you'll only be using it for the first month or two and maybe the last month. The other months are cold since it's winter.

Yeah, just bring a fan. Like its been said you won't need it that much but the beginning of the year will be brutal if you don't have one.
I lived in Hedden first year and we had AC so that was awesome but I lived in Whidden in second year and forgot to bring a fan move in day and had to have my parents bring me one mid-week, I was absolutely dying.
With a fan though the heat is definitely bearable.

Just remember, point the fan out the window in the day and in the room at night.

rooms at bates are small so be selective when bringing things over.

It would be wise to visit during welcome day to see what your room roughly looks like. They only show a general room but you can ask if it's the same.

I would definitely recommend bringing a fan, it get's really hot the first few weeks.
Also, the bedrooms, at least mine last year had absolutely no shelving, besides at the top of the closet which isn't that helpful if you're short like me. Unlike the desks in traditional style that have shelves on top, these ones don't, so it might be helpful to bring an end table or bookshelf for textbooks.

Does Bates have wireless, or do we need to bring an ethernet cable?  |
