What opportunities are there if the school is so isolated during the school year
Colgate students generally do not take up internship opportunities as such during the school year. As active participants in this residential college setting they pursue their academic course load, and engage in clubs, recreation and other interests as described below:

That said, the coordination of internships during summers and other periods of time away from campus, is assisted by
Career Services, as you will read in the job and internship search section of this page. As you dimension your Colgate education, and as you will see, more than 2/3 of students participate in off-campus study groups ranging from weeks to entire semesters.
Good luck with your college search!
Colgate students don’t really do internships during the school year, which is fine because a lot of students at top schools in rural locations don’t. Students at Duke, Cornell, Brown, etc. are all in the same situation.
But Colgate has an excellent alumni network and Career services so you can find a good externship over winter break and an internship in the summer.
