<p>I know young grads from all three schools. I hthink it’s a bit of a shame that Hamilton is fading, because I would put it between the two for vibe and student body.</p>
<p>Since Colgate is so close to Hamilton (for more confusion Colgate is in the town of Hamilton) why not just give it a peek when he goes to Colgate.</p>
<p>I would have my kid sit in on a poly- sci class at each school.</p>
<p>My kids would have chosen Vassar, but we are on the arty, hippie end of the spectrum.</p>
<p>My D’s friends from Hamilton and Colgate both have wonderful NYC jobs. The Hamiltonian is in publishing, and the Colgatian is in finance</p>
<p>My kid went to Barnard and is in a funded PhD program, happy but poor compared to her friends.</p>
