Campus Visit Notes for Colgate University


Visit Description:

Best college visit ever! Just don't use MapQuest directions to get there! I was unnecessarily traumatized by being directed into deep wilderness. There is one road, Rt. 12, between Binghamton and Colgate...not 13, as MapQuest suggested. Use Colgate's directions.
