I was at Colgate last Fall as a junior in high school. When we arrived at the admin office we met four first year students who were there to speak to a friend. They came over to my dad and me and started talking to us about how much they loved Colgate and felt so at home there. When they found out I was into theater they told me about a 24 hour theater slam they were taking part in that night and invited me to visit.

The tour guide we had was very funny and gave us what we felt was an honest assesment of the school. The kids we saw around campus were laughing and some said hi even if they were with a group of friends.

Thus, I had a great experience at Colgate and have heard mostly good things about the social life of the school. I’m applying there without hesitation.

By the way I am only applying to lacs and I enjoyed my visits to all 7 of the places I am applying to. Hopefully my overnight visits will only add to my excitement.
