Guys and Girls at Colby
Colby has a reputation for having many white, upper-middle-class, private school kids. They are classified by their "outdoorsy prep" look: lots of brand-name clothing, but flannel and L.L.Bean boots are a must. The COC (Colby Outing Club) is popular for their Katahdin hike, and most students participate in CCAK, a mentoring program with kids in the area. Colby's motto for social life is "work hard, play harder."

Drinking Beats Drugs
The drug scene is not apparent at Colby. Some students are involved, but drinking is much more popular.

Colby Loves Grants!
The financial aid process is smooth and consistent at Colby, and they WILL give you the money you need. Colby, without financial aid, would not be affordable for me, but now it is actually less expensive than attending the state university. They also recently switched to grants, so the majority of your aid you do not have to pay back!
