If interested in Colby might look at Holy Cross both are definitely it woke. HC is gaining in popularity due to schools relatively new President non- Jesuit African American with degrees from Brown and Harvard. Holy Cross is in the silent phase of $1billion capital campaign. With enrollment of 3300 kids it’s one of the larger LACs and kids get into Boston in 1 hour.

I graduated from Hamilton in the 80s. Back then it was similar to Bucknell and Lafayette. Now they are different schools. Bucknell and Lafayette have a robust Greek system whereas Greek life rarely exists any more at Hamilton.

Hamilton went all in on DEI whereas the Pennsylvania schools took a more moderate stance. That said Hamilton has a more national student body with a lower acceptance rate. They along with Colby have raised their profile nationally, but most people my age would group Hamilton with Bucknell.

Amherst's internal data shows that they win cross admits against Cornell (but not any other Ivy); you are wrong.

Its endowment is half of the other three schools. Applications have dropped at Midd and they had a financial deficit. Don’t need to hear the same rebuttal that a grad from the 70’s is the COO of some bank who cares. Times have changed agree with several others Colby, Hamilton, Midd, and Bates are interchangeable. Have not any interest in these small, remote schools with horrible weather and no location diversity as in host towns. These are not Ute 60s and 70s when those schools plateaued. They appeal to a small full pay private school clientele whose kids can’t get into the Ivies, Duke, and Stanford.







You are nonsensically stupid. Facts are friendly and I am sure that the fine folks at Middlebury are quite happy your kid didn’t get in.


These are all great schools. If your kid prefers any one of them, attends and thrives… they will do well in life.

If you don’t prefer one of these schools, don’t attend, don’t let your kid attend, but for the love of God stop putting everything down that is not your preference!
