Administration and faculty staff care very much for their students education and create a very passionate, hands-on, inspiring place to learn. Colgate also offers great opportunities to research with its professors but the tough workload can be a bit intimidating.

At first glance, Colgate students don't seem too diverse, its majority is white and dressed very similar, but despite this great discussions can start in and out of class due to very different points of view and opinion among the students. It's a very preppy campus, with a very laid back but well groomed student body. All of them are very passionate about something and everyone has their own thing to enjoy. Colgate students are very active members in the community as a whole.
