<p>All I can say is that first-year D at Colby has only met one or two prep-school frosh so far, and LOTS of “normal”, public-school, non-preppy kids. I will say there’s not much evidence of an agressively funky presence there, as there is at, say, Wesleyan. BUT, that said, Colby as an institution and in the student body has a strong commitment to green issues ([WATERVILLE:</a> Colby leads the league in being green](<a href=“http://morningsentinel.mainetoday.com/news/local/5039681.html]WATERVILLE:”>http://morningsentinel.mainetoday.com/news/local/5039681.html)) the arts, international issues, and community service–which goes to the heart of what matters much more than what the kids might be wearing.</p>
