What is Colby College Really Like?

@xyz123a , I think the seniors are feeling very sad. There is a strong sense of community and a lot of great friendships.
These soon to be graduates were looking forward to spring and to winding down their time together in a way that gave it closure, and instead, they ended up with 48 hours to pack up and leave. They are not alone in their loss!

I think it’s particularly hard at schools that are “bubbles” like this because the kids know that the life they are living bears little resemblance to what comes next, and they are smart enough to know to savor it. It’s a tough blow but they also had the privilege of a great education in a place they were genuinely attached to. That’s one heck of a silver lining.

And FWIW, the Colby dining halls very compare favorably to my house, apparently…
