Bob, are you really expecting objectivity only posting this question in the Vandy forum?

It’s more likely your Southern ways will be a social asset at Colgate instead of you being no different from anyone else at Vandy. And on the otherhand, 20% of last year’s freshman class of @720 at Colgate came from the Southeast, West or Southwest. (Plus 5% Int’l and 8% MidWest).

It’s college. Break out a bit. Expand your horizons.

One thing you’ll never get as much at Vandy, which is more than twice the size, is the closeness and bonding to other students or the personal attention from profs.

The weather…well that could be a challenge if you’ve never known four seasons. But it’s not the Arctic Circle.
