[quote=Anonymous]Another Coiby grad here.  I admittedly did not have the best feelings for the place when I left (mid90s) but that was 100% about me -- immaturity, some of the campus politics of the day, and just some bad sports luck that I was bitter about.

With age comes perspective, and in hindsight I can admit that I loved my time up there and it prepared me really well for the "real world".  From everything I can tell, it's an even better place now than it was then.  The new president is doing amazing things up there.  See how they have dealt with COVID.  Look at the impact they are having on the Waterville community, playing a huge role in redeveloping downtown Waterville.  They are significantly upgrading their physical plant and investing in the arts and some really innovative programs (see recent announcement about their AI programs).

IF DC wants to go to grad school, you have no worries.  Grad schools know Colby and the academic rigor.  I will say, though, when I came down to DC after graduation, the "Colby name" didn't open many doors down here, but once the door was open, the 4 years I spent at Colby prepared me to walk through it and hit the ground running, job-wise.
