[quote=Anonymous]Colgate is a truly wonderful school. As an alum, I could go on and on about what I loved about that place.

The down side is definitely the weather. It really is freezing.

However, this really does facilitate getting to know the rest of the people at the school. When you don't feel like walking a mile or two in the snow to go out, you will find lots of people hanging out in the dorm.

It might be one of the most beautiful campuses in the world. It is what college should look like. I knew when I drove up to it that it was the place I had to be.

Professors are great. Invite you to their homes and you get a chance to really carve out a great experience for yourself. You never walk around and not know someone because the school is fairly small.  There is a sense of comfort and safety there and I think it's great for kids leaving home for the first time.

Town of Hamilton has improved but it used to be terrible. There is nothing to do. However, this once again just forces you to get to know the other students. There are so many extracurricular activities and it's small enough that it just isn't intimidating.

Hamilton College is in Clinton, NY which is about 30 minutes away. I think most people assume Hamilton is nearby. Probably would have made things a little more interesting if another college had been closer.

There is a definitely sense of family among Colgate Alumni. There is no issue reaching out to alumni if you need anything and I think this might be one of the biggest advantages of going to a school where everyone knows everyone.[/quote]
