Pros: Wonderful faculty; great classes; beautiful campus Cons: Course catalog is a bit limited; very poor social scene
As of this past May, I have joined the ranks of Colby College alumni in the Class of 2008. It was a very quick four years, with the old adage "it'll be over before you know it" proving to be far more true than I ever could have imagined back in ...
Pros: Small student population, efficient use of resources, friendly environment, academics Cons: alcohol-based party scene, location, lack of diversity
Reviews of colleges and universities can't be easy. After all, you're trying to help someone decide whether or not Colby is the right place for them or their money, but more than that, Colby is a place where you will spend four years of your life. It's...
Pros: Awesome food, great staff, large areas, all-you-can-eat Cons: Meal plan is a waste of $$, hours can get a bit restrictive
There are two things you can do with the food at Colby; you can put on that dreaded freshman 15 that is the bane of students everywhere, or you can actually get slimmer than you are now. That is how diverse and delicious the food is at Colby.
Pros: Location, Academics, Quality of People Cons: Location, Cost
After applying to a dizzying number of colleges in search of the one that would perfectly "suit me," I ended up coming to this small, 1,800 person liberal arts college in Maine. Being from Washington, this was about as far away in the...
Pros: Lack of Greek system, lax rules, people always willing to have fun Cons: Local town isn't very happening
After the frats and sororities were kicked out in 1984, things got worse for a time. In fact, according to some old alumni, we're in the Dark Ages even as we speak. Personally, however, I think that the social scene here on campus is great, and I'll...
Pros: Best Academics, Professors, Campus Cons: Emphasis on alcohol
Colby College is a wonderful institution. I've been here for 3/4 of a year, and I love it. I'll list out some of the pros and cons for you as seen from the eyes of a freshman (or "first-year", since we're so politically correct ;)
Pros: Please refer to the body Cons: Please refer to the body
I think Colby is an all round terrible place to come if you are not a rich preppy kid 20 mins outside of Boston. The social life at Colby is pretty bad. You are extremely isolated from the rest of the world and if you are not from a rich snobbish ...
Pros: great professors, beautiful campus Cons: the town it's in isn't the most exciting place
I loved this school! It's small, the professors are amazing and the campus is absolutely ideal. When you picture a beautiful college campus, this is the image most people have in their minds. I even named my dog Colby. They've recently build new dorms...
Pros: secure, beautiful, isolated, comfortable, has all you'd ever need Cons: isolated, too comfortable (you'll never leave)
After a couple of hours speeding up highway 95 channeled by columns of impenetrable evergreens, exit 33 disgorges you in the little town of Waterville, Maine. In a sentence, Waterville is a standard small Maine ex-milltown with a dash of liberal...
Pros: Flexibility, Fun, Maine, Small. Cons: Pricey, Isolated, not too diverse
Colby College was founded a couple hundred years ago in Waterville Maine. It was as far as people could go inland into Maine by boat. Well, it's basically as far inland into Maine as most people want to get. Which is part of it's charm, and part of...
I just finished visiting Colby College way up in Maine. It is simply the nicest, friendliest college I have looked at so far. Located in rural Maine, close to many top ski areas, Colby is what everyone is looking for in a small private college. The...
