Colgate is a small but very nice school. The curriculum seems excellent. I really liked how they seem very committed to helping you start your career when you graduate.

Colgate is a tight-knit family. Teachers want you to succeed and truly understand the material. My experience has been extraordinary.

A beautiful campus in the middle of nowhere with high caliber academics and D1 athletics. The students go hard in the classroom and outside the classroom. A great school that has an extensive alumni network which ensures a job upon graduation.

A very small town with a community feel. Very engaging classroom setting. Will teach you how to think and you will be smarter after 4 years.

Colgate is a great place for research and study abroad opportunities, amazing professors, extracurriculars galore, and one of the best alumni networks you'll find at any college. Their need-based financial aid is incredible - a Colgate grant has helped me cover the majority of my tuition. However, the student body is largely white and very preppy, so be prepared for a lot of homogeneity with small pockets of diversity.

The mindset of most Colgate students is work hard, play hard. Many students spend their days our beautiful library and their nights enjoying the Greek scene on campus. The student population is well balanced and super smart, but most tend to be preppy, health-conscious, and Greek.

Colgate University is a liberal arts university where you can take classes and explore your interests in any variety of fields. While you may feel forced into the required courses, the five CORE subjects allow you to expand your horizons and gain a better understanding of how the world has developed and will continue to develop. Plus the learning and social environments are very supportive; while many people fit into similar niches, those who are not afraid to show their individuality are welcomed with open arms as well.

Colgate is a small, sheltered liberal arts college with challenging academics and a vibrant social scene, but at times it can be too small town for some people. If students search for the right people and opportunities, they will find them. Colgate also has excellent financial aid and alumni connections.

You will have great relationships with your professors. There are endless opportunities in every field including internships and research. It is very easy to get involved and foster a passion.

It is cold up here. Academics are good. People are good too.
