<p>What would be the average Colgate student? Is Colgate big enough that you will find a niche no matter what you are like?</p>
<p>I would say that a majority of Colgate students do fit a certain stereotype but I'll be nice. You can find at least one person that you can bond with. I just found that the campus was a bit too homogenous for me. Even the Af Am community was bit homogenous but that's just me.</p>
<p>The students are generally upper class, white, from NJ, Westchester, CT, etc. Most of them like to party, and dress well. There are a bunch that aren't, though. Although Colgate students might look similar at the first glance, once you get to know them, most are extremely nice people, and very enthusiastic about Colgate. I know a few students who didn't fit the mold, who, looking back, probably would have picked a different school, but they still said they had a great time. If the students are homogenous, the faculty of Colgate is definitely very open and willing to help students find a niche. It's a great school and worth a look, but make sure to visit because you may well fit better elsewhere.</p>
