2 siblings went to Colgate, I went to Denison. Campuses at both schools are truly beautiful! Rolling hills, well kept grounds and integrated architecture. ~ 1 hour to Syracuse and Columbus. Greeks at both have a strong presence but are going through transition.
A few differences as well. As mentioned, Colgate addmissions are more competitive. Student body is larger. Setting is more rural. Alumni relations at Colgate does a great job of staying in the mix and being inclusive. ...Think Colgate Calendar, C-gate Club NYC etc.
Denison was a good fit for me. My circle of friends is strong and most have established lives/careers. The town of Granville is quite a bit more affluent then Hamilton. I'm told that the school has pumped millions back into the campus and building has been fervent. I wasn't the most astute student, but academic/leadership opportunities were abundant and the study abroad option was transformative. The endowment is strong and Denison leadership does a great job with keeping tuition down and doling out merit based aid. ...I was a NE kid who had visited a few campuses. During my visit to Denison, I knew almost instantaneously.
