I've already visited, but I live in Florida so I don't know if I can find the time to go up there again. Do they give alumni interviews? An alum lives two streets away from me and he knows me pretty well and we are good family friends.

Interviews don't count in the admissions process at Colgate - you can schedule one, either on campus or with an alum, but it's really just a chance for you to ask questions.
