<p>Hello, I am a student who is extremely interested in Colgate. I am a black student and was wondering what is the diversity at Colgate and what is it like to be an URM there? I have attended a majority white and wealthy high school and am wondering what sort of atmosphere Colgate has.</p>
<p>diversity is improving year after year. The place is big enough that you can find your niche there. </p>
<p>My Daughter (white but attends a very diverse public high school and was concerned with Colgate’s reputation as overly white & wealthy) specifically asked them about diversity at a college fair. Colgate sent a very detailed brochure outlining the ways they are attempting to improve diversity. While it felt a little like marketing, I was actually impressed with the brochure, and the lengths they are going to make minority (mostly black) students feel welcomed and engaged.</p>
<p>Of course this is just marketing, and your experience could be totally different. But I was encouraged. Definitely send admissions an email, you’ll at least get the “official” response.</p>
