Bates challenges all students who live on campus to take responsibility for their living space and work together to end dorm damage.

What you need to know about dorm damage:

• Students may be held responsible for the cost of repairs related to damage in residential buildings
  • If known, individuals will be charged for damages caused
  • If unknown, costs may be shared by roommates, suitemates, or an entire building
• Dorm damage is defined as damage to a facility that exceeds a physical condition that would be expected from normal wear and tear.
• Damage is disruptive and forces the deferral of other work in order to perform unscheduled repairs
• Charges related to dorm damage appear on semester bills
• Willful destruction of property may result in referral to the student conduct process.
• Please see the list of dorm damage charges.  They include a brief description of each charge.
