[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I attended Colgate and would not use “hate” but rather just be aware of the pros and cons.

Pros include pretty campus, quiet setting, small classes and very good athletic facilities for a school of that size.

Cons include heavy Greek life, very small town without much to do besides drink, and an isolated setting with Syracuse the closest large city an hour away. And of course long cold winters.

Visiting in summer will not give much insight, so revisit if you’re serious. We know a few students who visited in winter and that helped them decide to go elsewhere.

Again no hate, just a judgment of fit for your student and some items to be aware of.[/quote]

I went there and agree with all of this. I was in a house, but had friends who weren't. There was a divide, but it was worst sophomore year and by senior year no one cared. You can't pledge as a freshman at colgate so that helps. If you play a sport, that will be your group, so make sure she likes the girls on whatever team. I think the academics were great, but when I went there they way labs were credited really penalized STEM majors. They may have fixed that by now. Also, PP is correct. It is beautiful in summer, one of the prettiest areas of the country IMHO. Visit in winter when the snow banks are six feet high on the quad to see if it's right for you. [/quote]
