<p>I need to know about the social scene, and how left out one would feel if he/she isn't into partying.</p>
<p>Also, it would be of great help if anyone gave me some idea about international students' chances at financial aid !</p>
<p>Hello! Colby works really hard to provide alternate activities during the weekends to ensure that everyone has something to do!</p>
<p>About the aid, these stats are probably old, but check them out, they might give you an idea:
[Top</a> 25 Financial Aid Colleges in US for International Students (Need-aware) - Desperate Guide: Undergraduate College Financial Aid, Scholarship](<a href=“http://www.desperateguide.com/us/top-25-financial-aid-colleges-in-us-for-international-students-need-aware]Top”>http://www.desperateguide.com/us/top-25-financial-aid-colleges-in-us-for-international-students-need-aware)
Colby’s student body is 7% international. 85% of those internationals were awarded need-based aid, and the average award is 44,119. With no loans, which is great.</p>
<p>It’s very competitive to get in, but if you’re accepted, Colby will give you good aid (if you need it). </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Hello there,
I am tossed between a few good school and is having a hard time deciding…
Can someone tell me what a typical Colby student is like ?
I also heard lots of students drink and do drugs at Colby, is that true ?
How can you study and drink and do drugs and still do well ?
Thanks for the info.</p>
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>It’s true that Colby students party quite a lot, especially on the weekends. Many students drink, but there’s also a lot of students who don’t. As for drugs, I don’t think what you heard is true (at least as far as I’m concerned). If you don’t like parties, there are special-interest dorms for you.
Despite the party scene, Colby students manage to do really well in academics. The reason for that? Well, I guess Colby adcoms make good decisions in selecting students with high academic potential :)</p>
