What are you looking for in a college? There is a big difference in size and location of the schools you mentioned. Colgate, Holy Cross and Bucknell are fairly similar in terms of size but Holy Cross is in a city, Bucknell and Hamilton students double the population of their respective towns. Boston University has 32,500 students which is ten times the number at Colgate. I would look more at fit and see what you’re looking for because someone looking for 30,000 in a large city won’t necessarily be happy in a place with 3,000 students in a rural village with 4,000 residents.
