Read Hundreds of Quotes from Colgate University Students

Read samples from the Colgate University guide below:

Academics

“Like other universities, I imagine, there are some professors you shouldn’t graduate without taking, and some professors you should try to avoid. I would suggest asking around to see who the good ones are. Knowing that, there are some amazing professors at...”

Diversity

“Colgate is not very diverse. The school is trying, and you can find people of different backgrounds if you look for them (join a cultural organization or hang out at ALANA). Most students are white and upper-middle-class, though. There’s a reason why...”

Academics

Although achieving academic excellence at a reputable university like Colgate is challenging, the majority of Colgate professors make the experience interesting and worthwhile.

Many of the minority students who do choose Colgate are often attending specifically for sports programs. Colgate has taken a proactive approach to addressing the problem, by focusing on diversity during freshman orientation and assuring students that diversity on campus will improve in years to come.

Although there is little visible tension...

Guys & Girls

The testimonies cannot be refuted. Colgate is a beautiful campus, regarding both the grounds and the students who attend it. Most everyone is wealthy, well-dressed, and fit. Sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming, like flipping through a J.Crew catalog, with guys sporting pink shorts and girls wearing their characteristic pearls to class. We think Colgate may have invented the flipped collar (or at least it feels that way sometimes), so the controversy over collars-up or collars-down ensues. And, of course,...

Athletics

Athletic competition has always been an important aspect of Colgate tradition. In keeping with this tradition, Colgate is constantly revamping, remodeling, and renovating its workout facilities every year in response to the high frequency of students. All of its varsity teams are Division I, and their many championship titles merit recognition. Fittingly, students support Raider athletics whenever the opportunity arises. But there isn’t as spirited a following as large southern universities or Big 10...
