Colby College
- Academics

Art History

The professors are absolute amazing and always there to answer any questions. They either know the answer to whatever question you ask or will help you look it up. They're very friendly and know all of their students by name, they're a close faculty and thus it is a great community.

Willing to Help Until You Get It

Almost every professor I have talked to at colby has gone out of their way to provide me help. From staying to almost 11 at night to one on one talks between classes, professors are dedicated to their students. I ended up sitting and chatting with almost every one of my professors last year and it honestly helped. I learned and was challenged by the material I was taking in. I think that's the most important thing Colby offers: great professors, new opportunities to learn and academic challenge.

Small Classes, Excellent Professors (For the Most Part)

I came to Colby in part for its fine arts program; with its own museum and the large amount of funding that has gone into the arts over the past couple of years, Colby really has an excellent department. I didn't want to limit myself by going to art school, so Colby was the perfect liberal arts school for continuing my art, as well as pursuing other academic subjects. I am still not sure what I want to major in, and Colby is making it really easy to explore all the different fields before settling on one. I can also attest firsthand that it has an excellent biology department. Some other students I know have been less than thrilled with their first-year professors, but I guess that's just luck of the draw.
