Why Colgate?

<p>This is the question asked in the application and I am stuck. What should I write except for the fact that its is a great college. I don't have any other specific reason.</p>

<p>maybe you shouldnt apply</p>

<p>Say you like toothpaste.</p>

<p>Lol ok seriously. You got to ask yourself "why am I applying to a small liberal arts school?"</p>

<p>If you still can't find out, I'll thrown in a couple of things that I personally find appealing about LAs:</p>

<ul>
<li>Small in size</li>
<li>Known for good undergrad experience</li>
<li>Prepares students well for jobs in the market </li>
</ul>

<p>In terms of specifics about Colgate, I can't give you any. You can perhaps research what the school is best known for, and write about that.</p>

<p>I would strongly advise finding specific courses or professors to talk about in the department you plan on studying in. Talk about how those courses (or professors) are much more aligned with your interests than are the ones at your present university. Also, the general answers with the "Why [University]?" are: 1. Academics 2. Size, Location 3. Social Scene 4. Access To Specific Extra Curriculars. Good Luck.</p>

<p>Because they share the name of a toothpaste!!!</p>

<p>what makes it such a great college to YOU? visualize yourself there... what would you be doing with your time? what classes would you take? take some time to really think about it and reflect upon what you want from college.</p>
