<p>I recently did a short visit and Colgate was easily one of the nicest looking schools I have seen and I have seen most of them. Town is small but has the basics and is also very nice and safe. It’s not that far from Syracuse (about half an hour) which is a good-sized city with plenty to do including one of the best BBQ joints in the USA.
Fairbanks is isolated; Colgate is not really.</p>
