Agreed that at a school that costs so much there are going to be wealthy students.  However, many of my friends have financial aid, as well as a large portion of the athletes.  It a wonderful city to go to school in, with shopping, excellent restaurants, and tons of night life.  Skidmore's split into 2-3 different categories: hipster art students and business major/athletes, with a good chunk of theater/music majors.  If you fit into one of those categories then you'll love it.  If you don't then you might not.  Wonderful art program and business program.  I've heard great things about the exercise science program.  The exterior of buildings on campus are kinda ugly, but thats something that you stop noticing after the first few weeks because you get used to it and the general area and town is amazing.  The dining hall is freaking awesome, with something for everyone.  Academics are interesting and challenging for the most part, but I've heard career services kinda sucks.  Overall, great location, great academics, community and social life; however, very small and segregated student.
