Save this nonsense for the Private School forum, thanks.

Other than the finance industry in NYC, the Northeast is not exactly the epicenter of job creation. The financial industry knows W&L well. In Washington and anywhere South of DC, W&L is far more well known.

Colgate is more familiar as a toothpaste brand.

Colgate is named after the toothpaste guy. It has an interesting history. Located in Hamilton, NY it spun off another well-regarded university, but that university is NOT Hamilton College.

Me too. They bring up their college all the time. But there are probably stuck up bitches at every school.

Ha,ha,ha. You've lived in the Mid-Atlantic too long. Your comment that in Washington and anywhere south of D.C. W&L is far more well known is very true. And the south is the epicenter or job creation? Dream on. What college graduate wants to live in the backwater of Charlotte? What a riot.

Colgate students primarily draw from NE and tri-state area. Um, I'd be quite happy with strong college name recognition and alum network in the Boston, NYC, Philly areas - but you go look for a job in Raleigh instead.

Where does Colgate rank on the pecking order of colleges for the few companies hiring in Boston and Philly? That "alum network" may be working the night shift at CVS (where Colgate has name recognition second only to Crest) or Dunkin Donuts.

It's kind of a fratty place...good if you're a liberal arts major looking for an entry level job at a bank in NYC or a mutual fund complex that doesn't require quant skills. Not so different from W&L, really. Colder weather, uglier campus.

Probably true, but there is no one who thinks of Colgate as one of the elite schools of the the NE because there are so many other plainly better schools in the NE (including the Ivies, Little Ivies etc). W&L stands out much more in its region. W&L has better retention.

Well that settles it then. All students who attend Colgate must be stuck up bitches.

Do kids at Colgate socialize with kids from other nearby colleges?

No. There aren't actually too many colleges nearby. At least for kids without their own cars.
