It looks liks USNWR rates Hamilton and Colgate about equal academically. Which is really stronger of the two?

Colgate or Hamilton?

Do an advanced search, I'm sure you can find more info!

I don't know which is the 'stronger' of the two...when I was applying to colleges, everyone knew "Colgate", not everybody (or even a lot) knew "Hamilton"...

Colgate is more jocky and conservative. Hamilton is more artsy, international, and liberal.

I am not sure tht I would consider Hamilton that much more liberal than Colgate...although it definitely has a different feel to it than Colgate. I will say that Colgate is far more recgonizable than Hamilton in the world of academia and can offer more because of its size [1000 students more]. As a student at Colgate, I have found our size [2750] to be pretty much perfect.

Academically I've heard from students that they're similar and they are both definitely athletic/jocky, preppy, and conservative. Colgate seems to be a bit more recognizable as well as harder to get into (because of the increase of applicants because of being more well-known).
