Eiffel 13,
yes we did visit Colgate in April 2005. We liked the school, the admission people were amazing (along with the yummy ice cream sandwiches - getting to candidates through their stomachs!). The info session was well organized and the tour energetic.
On the surface, Colgate and Colby (and a number of other schools) have a lot in common.
There were two factors which played in Colby’s favor with our daughter: no frats/sororities, which was important to her. She felt the Colby environment would likely be more open/less cliquish without frats (and has found Colby to be indeed a warm and welcoming community).
Her other concern was academic, she wanted a school that was very strong in International Studies, and that is a real strength of Colby’s.
Both are great schools, it really all comes down to fit. Best wishes to your daughter in her search for the perfect fit!
