I’m not sure if you’ve visited Colgate yet, but if you haven’t, I highly suggest you visit Hamilton College as well, which is only 20-30 minutes away. Hamilton has an extremely open curriculum and a lot of students have pre-med concentrations, including biology and neuroscience concentrations; my daughter is a rising sophomore there with a neuroscience concentration. They are known to have a high percentage of students admitted to med school.
I truly can’t say enough good things about it! My daughter considered both schools, but Hamilton won out. Absolutely beautiful, spread out campus with a lot of green space. A bit more of a suburban feel than Colgate, which presents as a more rural setting. Of course, a lot of it is going to come down to personal preference; it’s a bit difficult to determine what setting you’re looking for due to your varied list.
At any rate, if you’re visiting that area, I highly suggest you check out Hamilton! Sounds like it could be a good fit!
