[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colby is at least a notch above the other two. Like Cornell compared to Georgetown and UNC.

Unless there is a compelling reason to choose one of the other two (which your question suggests is not the case) Colby is the obvious choice. [/quote]

I think Colgate has the best academic reputation.  Haven't ever run into a Colby grad.[/quote]

So in your personal rankings Colgate outranks Colby.

Among those who've heard of both school,s Colby (15) outranks Colgate (22): http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-liberal-arts-colleges/data[/quote]

I don't have a dog in this fight, not having gone to any of these schools (something tells me you are a Colby alum).  However, the U.S. News ranking difference isn't that impressive as there are only two actual places between Colgate and Colby (three schools tied to 15 so skips to 19 and three schools tied for 19 and so skips to 22).  Never met anyone from Colby, had a bunch of friends from Colgate who went to Ivy league grad school with me so that is the basis for my personal opinion.

I'd also say that there isn't any difference between Georgetown, North Carolina, and Cornell -- all great schools.[/quote]
