Friendships at Colgate

<p>Is it easy to make friends at Colgate University? Or is there a preference towards certain type of people?</p>

<p>Easy if you try. Although there may not be a big city nearby, and the racial diversity is slowly expanding, there is still a large amount of diversity in the backgrounds and focuses of the different students. I graduated a long time ago and made friends among the football team, the track team, the band geeks and the newspaper staff; I attended the non-denominational church and went to concerts. Due to the rural setting of Colgate, your social events are typically through the college. So if you are willing to step outside of your comfort zone, you will undoubtedly experience all kinds of new opportunities and all kinds of new friends.</p>
