Off-Campus Housing at Colby College

Why Off Campus?

About 95 percent of students live on campus because that's where it's at. Seriously. I only know three people who have ever lived off campus, and none of them liked it. If you can live on Colby campus, DO!

Campus Strictness at Colby College

A+

I Love Security.

The security officers are pretty easy-going, but they do their job really well. One pesky parking ticket was the worst punishment I've had at Colby. Honestly, the security and I are friends. I know at least five or six of them pretty well, so I always stop to say hello. This paid off—once, a security officer took me and three friends on a personal tour of Miller Library Tower.

Overall Experience at Colby College

A+

So Good.

I'm freaking out about a midterm exam coming right up. We work really hard here at Colby, but Colby has a way of blowing expectations out of the water. I expected to study all day, but instead I learned to roll a whitewater kayak, sang some Latin hymnals, had some really funny but insightful conversations (one with a brand new friend, and one with my tenured professor), and tasted some bizarre Brazilian spicy dish (well done, Foss). Any day at Colby can be a pleasant surprise. Just take advantage of the brilliant professors, the friendly atmosphere, and the good life. Enjoy!
