[quote=Anonymous]I have a niece who transferred out a couple of years ago. She came from a top private in the Philly area, but said that the social environment was dominated by very rich, very white New England boarding school students, who treated Colby as a continuation of boarding school. With it being a small school in the middle of nowhere, she felt very isolated and left after freshman year for another SLAC with a more diverse student body and less of the prep school vibe. I do think people get taken in by the very low admission rate, but as others have said, that seems to reflect a very aggressive marketing campaign designed to boost numbers. But it seems like the actual students are the same rich NE boarding school grads that Colby has always relied on to pay the bills.[/quote]
