I chose Colby over ________.

Any input is helpful!!

Bates, Northeastern, BU, BC, Babson, GW, Villanova, Davidson, PSU, UMD, UMass, Brandeis

Bowdoin, Bates, Swarthmore, Carleton, St. Olaf, Case Western Reserve University

OP: Consider asking Why each chose Colby over other schools. Better financial aid ? Specific major ?

My daughter applied ED but had applications ready to go for Hamilton, Bowdoin, William & Mary, Bates, Carleton and Colgate. She’s been loving Colby so far. The kids are exceptionally nice and the professors are amazing. Would recommend for anyone.

S chose Colby over Hamilton, Richmond, Boston College and Davidson. So far so good. Reality has met or exceeded expectations.

I chose Colby over Colgate, St. Lawrence, Bates, Dickinson, Cornell, UVM, Gettysburg, and USC. For me, the people are what sold me. The students here are very smart and motivated yet down-to-earth and laid back, too. Beyond that, the gov department is one of the strongest in the country with tons of connections. Plus, the beautiful Maine campus cannot be beat. Though it can feel isolated at times, Colby is definitely a special place to be spending four years.

Appreciate this thread. S accepted ED with apps ready to go to Middlebury Hamilton Kenyon Colgate and UVM. Thrilled to be going to Colby.
