I knew it was in June last year for the housing but I can't remember the exact date. One thing to remember - watch out when they open up COOT; it's definitely on a first come, first served basis. Signing up as soon as possible will help you get your first choice. I do recall that they sent an email to S when the housing, COOT, class selection were available. On class selection, it's not on a first come, first served basis at all. Just make sure you submit your course selections within the deadline set by the college. S got all the classes he wanted. Colby will also send out the name of the student's advisor before course selection. S didn't really discuss his choices with his advisor but he met with his advisor a number of times as a frosh.
Okay, so everybody's gotten the email by now, right? The one that says they're gonna send something out on June 8th--and asks you to please stop signing up for things through the Facebook link 'cause the site isn't actually "live" yet! I think this is so funny--don't you feel sorry for all of the colleges? now they have to deal with facebook and CC rumors on top of everything else!
On the Colby housing page it says that Colby provides a "study desk." Does this desk include any kind of storage? I ask because some desks have places above the writing surface for books/other things whereas other desks are just the basic "flat surface with four legs" desks.
Any particular recommendations for wintertime boots? General purpose light hiking boots or something more substantial for walking around campus? Thanks for the advice!

General light hiking boots in the winter should work walking around campus during winter. We're from New England so my S is so used to wearing low-cut hikers/trail shoes in the winter.
Yeah, just use the Colby 2013 site after logging in with your student e-mail. It is in the big calendar thing in the middle of the page and in the "important dates" section.
How long is COOT this time? Last year, Colby cut down the number of COOT days to try something new, and I guess the frosh all wished it were longer. Wonder if they reverted back to longer COOT days.
Still the same as COOT last year. Just told S and he said he wishes Colby would go back to the 4 or 5 day trip that it used to be. They all had a blast.
charlie - Excellent boot suggestion although my S prefers the light ones. I would prefer he wear heavier ones.
