<p>Hi @drgreenhead, </p>
<p>Family Weekend 2013 will be held Oct. 25-27, 2013! More information here: [Family</a> Weekend Events - Schedule - Information](<a href=“http://www.colgate.edu/parents-and-families/family-weekend]Family”>Family Weekend | Colgate University).</p>

<p>Hint…Make your Hotel reservation now. ;-)</p>
<p>Absolutely on the hotel reservations. Hamilton, NY has a limited number of hotels and motels. There are a few good places to stay in Clinton, Utica, and of course Syracuse, but they require half an hour to 45 mins of driving each way. Worth it for a short trip. The Colgate Inn is remodeled and very nice, but getting a room reservation is tough. On the busiest weekends, many locals rent out rooms or their entire homes to parents. Time to buy a motor home, maybe? It’s a small time so it’s to be expected.</p>
<p>Check Coigate’s website for their list of hotels. Most people within a few hundred miles will drive to campus and go home that night, of course, but if you’re many hours away that can be tough. I’m in California so the drive to campus is really tough!</p>
