This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bates chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

Bates College, attempting to soften the blow of the housing lottery — proving unsuccessful as first years ignore the fluffy candy in favor of ​Keith Tannenbaum with a bullhorn.

Courtney likes long runs (not on the beach), long naps (can be on the beach), and long conversations with herself (and her roommate). She's a first year at Bates College and has decided on a different major each semester so far (this time it's psychology!). She is a member of the cross country and track teams, as well as a volunteer in the surrounding school district. Her #1 piece of advice: "You cannot do anything with a tired brain. Go to sleep!"
Becca Carifio is a senior history major at Bates College. Obsessed with coffee, scarves, videos of cute animals and polka dots. Currently trying to convince her parents that reading comic books for her thesis on Wonder Woman during World War II is worth their tuition money.
