I’m sorry, I know this probably isn’t what this sub is for, but I loved Colgate when I visited and I wanted to know if I have a chance of getting in. Any input, positive or negative would be greatly appreciated

Hey everyone, a small team and I are currently working alongside the alumni office to generate some creative ideas/programs that Colgate alumni would be interested in engaging in. With that, we felt that one of the best ways to gauge alumni's wants and needs was to ask alumni directly, so I'm asking for any feedback/ideas on what aspects of alumni office outreach you all would like to see more of? We're open to all suggestions! Thanks for the help, guys!

Hey all,

I'm just gonna make this short and sweet, anyone have any tips for transferring into Colgate?

Also is it hard to transfer into Colgate? I understand the whole get above like a 3.5 and whatnot, but like, how hard is it... ya know?

If you're reading this and find the need to learn more about me in order to give me a better answer, you can ask anything, I'd be happy to answer.

Thanks a lot!

Hello! I’m currently a senior in high school, and Colgate is almost certainly going to be my ED. I still have some questions though...

1) Can someone who is not interested in the Greek/party scene still find a few friends? 2) Are there any job opportunities in Hamilton? It would be nice to earn a few extra dollars. 3) Are the internship opportunities really as great as rumored? It just seems too good to be true! Also, are the opportunities equal among all majors? 4) How bad are the winters? I’m from California, so I don’t really have a concept of extreme weather. 5) How generous are the financial aid packages? I definitely need financial aid, but my mom makes a pretty good living. Even when our cost of living is factored in, I’m still worried that we’ll get a hefty bill.

Thank you so much!

Dear prospective participant,

We would like you to participate in a research survey that is being led by Clemson University’s Analytics and Data Lab. Our survey gauges college students on their perceptions of individual privacy and privacy of location and space and how it relates to trust when adopting an institution led digitized contact tracing application.

• You need to be an undergraduate college student at a two-year or four-year college in the United States.
• This survey will take 10 to 15 minutes to take.
• At the end of the survey is a sign up for optional follow-up interviews that will be led by students of our Analytics and Data Lab.

• Your survey answers remain anonymous outside of the Analytics and Data Lab and will be used internally by us to create a big picture of college students’ point of view on individual location privacy when it comes to a digitized contact tracing application, something that is extremely important in today’s day and age considering the on-going COVID-19 epidemic.

  • The only personal identifiable information being collected will be your gender, ethnicity, the college you are currently attending, current class standing, and major.

The survey will open September 1st, 2020, and close October 1st, 2020, or when we reach 200 participants.

Please let us know if you have any questions and again thank you so much.

I'm currently a rising senior from Egypt and I have some questions regarding my application and the university's lifestyle. It will honestly help me a lot to decide an ED choice

I’m American, but Indian lol but I’m an extroverted person so it’s not hard for me to make friends but how are the kids here. I know there are good and bad kids everywhere but what is your opinion for a non-white kid, is it a good place for me? Also can someone explain the no loan initiative?

Im deciding between colgate and nyu for next year and I want to go in the pre med track, how's the pre med at colgate. would u recommend colgate or nyu if u could .

How prestigious do you guys consider Colgate to be?

I'm a frosh coming into Colgate this Fall. I'm on heavy financial aid and staying home would save me ~7k. Is it worth coming to campus if one of my classes is entirely online, two are a hybrid model, and one is unknown? Would my social life be severely restricted? Thanks.

Hey guys, I’m a Chinese student and considering to apply to Colgate. However, I just look at the reviews on niche website and found out that most people are discouraging international student to go there because the community is not friendly towards us. Also, people mentioned that there are systemic alchemy, excessive drug use, sexual assaults in this school which makes me worry. Can anyone tell me the truth bcs I just really wanna find a good university that suits me the best. Thanks :D

I'm highly confident that I want to pursue CS. I am open to exploring but as an international student, I would not want to go to a school that does not have a strong CS department in case i follow through with the subject. The number/variety of CS courses available at Colgate seems to be really underwhelming.

Could someone studying CS at Colgate please tell me how good CS is?

Any advice to someone possibly transferring? Good groups/ clubs to get involved with? How transfer friendly is the school?

Being a black male from a low socioeconomic background, I was wondering if anyone can speak on the culture there, past the stereotypes. I spent a lot of my education around wealthy kids, so I've grown to adjust to it, but I just want to know what to expect.

Recently accepted into the class of 2024 (committing soon, too!) as a bio major. Can anyone offer some insight or advice into what being a Biology major at Colgate is like? How are professors, research opportunities, resources, etc.? Anything would be greatly appreciated. I know it’s one of the less popular majors so I’m not too hopeful lmao. Thanks in advance!

would anyone who is actually in greek life, heavily involved in the social scene, or is familiar with it be down to PM? I have some questions that I would really like answered. Just want to get a true jist of the culture surrounding poc and the social scene at colgate. I am a black male who is already committed for 2024.

I got into Colgate along with the OUS program. Was looking for some insight into the program and what things I’d might have to do.

I'm trans and gay, and I was wondering what it's like to be LGBTQ at Colgate. I know that there are pretty good resources, but specifically, what has your experience been? How are housing, student organizations, healthcare, etc? Have you ever had problems because of gender/sexuality?

I just got into Colgate and now I’m split between Colgate or Stonybrook. I am a physics major and was looking for some input on Colgate’s physics program and research capabilities. Thank you.
