I
just graduated from Colgate and wished admissions had been more
forthcoming. The picture they paint of the school is the
atmosphere the administration wishes existed, rather than reality. Colgate is
not as diverse as they make it seem and there
really is little else to do in the town other
than drink. Greek life is an incredibly large aspect of
the social scene, but the administration refuses to add a
multicultural Greek house. I have wondered more than once if
the obsession about overstating diversity is more than just a
ploy to improve rankings.
As an aside, I just
noticed all of the positive rankings in the last two
months. They don't mention any of Colgate's true flaws,the ones
that exist below the surface. The posts below me are
also just so much more frequent than the average span
between posts on this site, (6 in 2 months vs
1 every 2 months) that it raised some flags in
my mind. I wouldn't be surprised if they are faux
posts and admissions counselors are posing as students. Colgate seems
to push an agenda and those at the top but
don't mind the students who hate their experience at Colgate
as this vision goes through its growing pains. I feel
like a casualty as Colgate paints a fictitious portrait of
campus in the hopes that it will one day it
will turn into reality. I guess I fell for the
pretty picture and should have done better research.
Some
students seemed to LOVE their time at Colgate, and I
am truly jealous of them. These students typically fit the
“mold”- white, party, drink, wealthy, and study just hard enough-
but those of us on the outside margins can only
sit back and marvel with pangs of jealousy.
