About Bates Hall

Bates Hall is one of Wellesley's smaller residential houses, housing around 150 students. The intimate scale makes Bates one of the most close-knit houses on campus, and the community is known for its traditions, bonding events, and strong alumnae identity. Like all Wellesley houses, Bates has its own dining hall — a tradition that creates real mealtine community rather than the anonymous cafeteria experience. Students in Bates often describe the house as feeling like a real home.
