Colby location - College Confidential Forums
2017年10月25日 · Not really. If they leave campus, they will certainly be able to travel to places beyond the town their college resides. Colby students probably frequent Freeport and Portland, both known for shopping and restaurants. My point being, the college town doesn’t have to be this amazing hub of recreation.

Questions about Colby regarding location, food, social life ...
2018年3月25日 · Hello! So I was recently admitted to Colby and, as of now, it is my top choice. However, the thing is: I’m from Southern California. I grew up in a super urban and diverse area (Los Angeles) and am TERRIFIED of the culture shock I will get if I do end up at Colby, considering it’s literally on the opposite end of the continent (rural Waterville, Maine). I already …

Pros and cons of Colby? - College Confidential Forums
2009年3月31日 · <p>Waterville itself offers little but college social life revolves around the campus and most people seem to have a really good time. Most also do study abroad.

Bates vs colby? - College Confidential Forums
2008年7月14日 · <p>Bowdoin has the resources that Colby and Bates probably wish they had and a postcard-lovely location in a coastal town.

Carleton Vs. Colby - College Confidential Forums
2024年4月21日 · I’m a San Francisco high school senior trying to determine whether to deposit at Carleton or Colby. It seems that for every one thing I like about Colby, there’s an equally relevant thing I don’t care for as much, and the same goes for Carleton. For context, I originally EDed to Middlebury, which still remains, in my mind, a much better fit than either of these schools. …
