I was there today. I would not consider it "preppy" but I suppose it depends on your point of view. Some students are, as anywhere. But that was not my impression. The student body is predominantly white, however, people of all ethnic backgrounds were interacting across the campus with no prejudices whatsoever. Keep in mind that the majority of students who attend Colgate are honors level kids. They are forward thinking and open minded. These are not people who crawled out of caves.
Now, having said that, understand that the cows outnumber the people in the surrounding towns. Hailing from Washington DC, you will find the remoteness of Colgate far more problematic than any falsely perceived preppiness.
