Colgate University

The happy medium between an attentive, small liberal arts college with the resources of a major university

Everybody stays on campus on the weekends, so during a late-night Slices run, you'll see about half the student body.

The renowned, highly-published, impressive, and overwhelmingly accessible staff

The beautiful campus buildings and grounds set in the rolling hills of the Chenango Valley

The well-balanced academics and parties; Colgate students work hard—and play harder

The tremendous amount of research opportunities and internships for undergraduates. Professors and career services can't seem to stop offering jobs, internships, and research opportunities.

Class dinners, field trips, and one-on-one attention from professors. We love Merill House, a full-service faculty dining hall often used to host class dinners.

The wide variety of student organizations and chances for leadership. Because the school is small, students can easily rise to leadership positions.

Graduation weekend—a torchlight parade of departing seniors, followed by dancing and drinking in the streets of downtown Hamilton.

The strong and supportive alumni base
