Colgate University welcomes inquiries and applications from international students studying abroad and in the United States. Colgate has a current enrollment of 2,800 men and women from 49 states, the District of Columbia and 34 countries. The 515-acre campus, known for its beautiful setting, is in the village of Hamilton.
Hamilton (population 2,500) is reminiscent of a New England village with old homes, tree-lined streets, a college inn, coffee house, movie theater, small shops, and municipal services. Village residents are active in Colgate activities, and there is an easy, friendly relationship between town and college.
The city of Syracuse is within a one-hour drive and has an airport servicing several major airlines. New York City is to the southeast and is a four-hour drive from Colgate.
The majority of students enter Colgate directly after completing secondary school education in the United States. International students typically comprise a very active 5 percent of the student population each year.
