Snow? Colgate is cold? :O

Honestly, it’s just being ON the Hill that makes Colgate seem a lot colder than it really is. When you’re walking on Broad St/downtown, it’s quite comparably warm and not as windy. So freshmen shouldn’t be afraid to go out for the night if it seems too nasty because the downtown will greet them warmly… a little too warmly…:)

LLBean, Lands End, Northface, Columbia, etc are your best friends. Zappos has free shipping (and free returns) so a lot of Colgate students will order clothes and boots online. I remember seeing awfully a lot of big packages around October…

Aviv, Colgate IS very cold compared to Israel. I was certainly happy to miss out one winter but I didn’t like all the rain and cold (wet cold) in Jerusalem. So… you’ll get much “nicer” winter weather at Colgate. :)
