Contact a Current Student

-Colgate is a place of student involvement above all else. If you have an interest in a niche subject, chances are there are others at Colgate who share that interest or are already organized into a club
-A Colgate education seeps beyond the classroom and roots itself in the way you look at the world and the way you interact with other students
-Colgate is a unique school that has great pride in the outsized impact it has for a school of its size - academically, athletically and culturally

-Joining Link Staff and getting to meet so many amazing people from all over campus and leading a group of first year students
-Working in the Office of Admission the summer after my first year
-Getting involved in This is Not a Play About Sex and meeting people on campus I would not have otherwise met

-Involvement in clubs and organizations is what can and will define your Colgate experience
-You have the ability to be very independent while at the same time having access to a variety and abundance of support
-You will learn just as much from your peers as you will from your professors

-Colgate's location is a big reason why it is so unique and special. It wouldn't be the same if it was located anywhere else.
-There are always people on campus looking out for us, including upperclassmen, advisers, and neighbors. So many people care about our success.
-Campus is big enough to let us have our unique experiences, but small enough that we can each individually impact campus. We can claim a favorite library table or Coop sandwich combo and feel at home, but also start a club or change a school policy
