Majestic and unforgettably beautiful, the Colgate campus is the physical manifestation of this University’s energy, sense of community, and worldly outlook.
Set in the Chenango Valley of central New York, Colgate is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful campuses in America. From the first view of stately buildings on a hillside surrounded by a vivid canopy of trees, the campus invites you in.
Building & Facilities
Steep hillsides, tree-lined pathways, cupolas, quadrangles, and carefully preserved stone buildings create the feeling of a classic residential campus deeply connected to its landscape. Classrooms, performance spaces, and laboratories facilitate learning and connection.
Colgate's Hometown
A short walk down the hill brings you to charming Hamilton. With its restaurants, cafes, and shops, as well as the landmark Colgate Inn and Hamilton Theater, Hamilton is the quintessential university town.
Sustainability
We are building a sustainable campus environment, mitigating Colgate’s climate impact, and modeling environmental responsibility. For over a decade, the university has invested in efforts to weave sustainability into the academic curriculum and operational practices.
