Not Worth It
Most of the student body lives in campus housing, the only exception being getting an apartment downtown. These apartments and houses are nice (sometimes) but are expensive and usually require you to sign a lease in the beginning of your sophomore year for senior year housing. Only a select amount of seniors are allowed to live of campus and leases can fall through and deposits can be lost. It is all around easier and more convenient to live in the townhouses or apartments which are maintained by the University and kept clean and functioning.

Not Many
As a freshman and sophomore there is really no need for transportation while on campus. There is a cruiser that operates all day that can take you into the town of Hamilton or anywhere around campus. For students who like far away from the school, though, it is difficult to get back and forth to the Syracuse Airport for breaks. The cab fare is about $100 and the school run busses are timed badly and there are not enough of them for the volume of students that fly in and out of Colgate over breaks.

A-
Snow
It is typical Upstate New York weather. Invest in a parka and some good snow boots and you should be fine. Once up the hill, the campus is small enough that walking to and from classes is not that bad. It is really pretty though!
