<p>i’ve always thought of colgate as being academically stronger/having the better reputation. i got into both last year and picked colgate. you can’t really say which has the stronger program, but i have no complaints…the academics are challenging, prof’s are awesome, and the students are all very bright (with the exception of some athletes…as i’m sure happens at every college). if you’re looking for a good social life in addition to the academics though, choose colgate. kids party ALL THE TIME, it’s great.</p>
