Hamilton, New York

A short walk down the hill is charming Hamilton, a village of about 4,200 people, where most of the Colgate faculty live. Hamilton is the spot for students to get off campus and grab a slice, catch a movie, browse the bookstore and enjoy a weekly farmers’ market.

Colgate University and the Hamilton, N.Y. community have been linked for more than 200 years.

In It Together
