<p>Would you explain that statement?</p>
<p>I think if you put students from Vassar and Colgate together a lot of them would loathe each other. The Hamilton kids could mediate (while spending quite a bit more time with Colgate). </p>
<p>But I could be all wrong.</p>
<p>If I recall correctly from the information session, 25% of Colgate’s student body play varsity sports. They have sports teams that play in Division 1. They also have over 30% joining fraternities. </p>
<p>“Colgate (which is in the village of Hamilton) is very isolated.”</p>
<p>Seeing how we got lost, traveling for miles on small country roads, trying to get there, that’s how it felt to us. The actual school address isn’t even recognized by a GPS. The town is very small, a few blocks it seemed. Population 3,500.</p>
<p>Poughkeepsie population 29,900.
Clinton population 1,952.</p>
<p>Colgate has more in common with its Patriot League rivals Holy Cross and Bucknell than Hamilton or Vassar.</p>
