My room is actually a triple, and it is VERY spacious (295 square feet). The substance-free housing is very cool and people who do drink are VERY tolerant of non-drinkers so he won’t find himself ostricized from the “drinking” population of students if he prefers to hang out with them, and even better than that, it’s very very easy to have a great time without drinking here and a lot of great people who are non-drinkers-- so if your son doesn’t want to be around drinkers, he can still have a great time (tonight, for example, there’s actually a Pirate Dance; haha, I love Colby). However, drinking is, I won’t lie, very prevalent on campus on the weekends.

The population is fairly homogeneous in that most (though not all) students are caucasion, however, there is a wide variety of personality types on campus. Overall, the students here are the friendliest people I’ve ever met in my entire life, and the great part about it is the “clique” thing is virtually non-existent-- which makes it even sweeter of a school. There are SO many great things at Colby, so many services available at no extra charge to the students (for instance: I just took the free Colby taxi to the Super Wal Mart in town today), and so many opportunities here.
