Colgate University

With a student body that loves its school as much as Colgate's does, it is no surprise that the students, for the most part, exude a remarkable amount of school spirit for such a small institution. Many come out for athletic contests, such as football and hockey, and support their friends in less intense sports, like IM softball. Students are not apathetic, though some may exhibit more pride than others. Some become tour guides; others work in the admissions office, or student leadership office. Whenever students travel, they proudly sport their “Gate gear” and almost always run into alumnae in the far corners of the globe. Even as graduates, students never forget their ties to Colgate, which is one reason why the alumni base is so helpful in job placement.
