<p>Has anyone gone through Colby's computer science program? Also, Colby has a research vessel partnership to do marine research. Does anyone have any information on this?</p>
<p>Bigelow Laboratories for Ocean Sciences</p>
<p>Thank you for the info on begelow.</p>
<p>Does anyone have opinions about computer science at Colby?</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>I visited and had dinner with the head of the Computer Science department, and another Comp Sci professor. The CS program seemed great, and I had the opportunity to take a CS class while I was on campus. The alumni network is strong, so that’s where a lot of CS jobs and paid internships come from. </p>
<p>We are getting a new $10+ million dollar science building that includes a new robotics lab… just saying.</p>
<p>The cost is actually at around $18.6 million. As a science major at Colby, I am extremely excited.</p>

<p>Hi, OP! I’m the mom of a '13 Colby grad, and I can tell you that her major in Environmental Science with a concentration in Marine Science was GREAT–the opportunities were amazing, and the Colby marine program is only getting better. During her Colby years she traveled to the Galapagos, did a semester in the Turks & Caicos, and went to French Polynesia. She’s now had two amazing marine research internships, just presented research at a professional conference, and is looking at grad schools. AND–everywhere she goes, and I mean EVERYWHERE, she runs into other Colby grads–most recently a visiting scientist at the research lab where she’s currently working, who had her same advisor 15 years ago! The Colby network is ridiculously strong. We’re constantly amazed that such a small, seemingly isolated school seems to have its grads absolutely everywhere!</p>
