Not Very Diverse
We're not very diverse, but Colby tries. We have a dean of multicultural affairs and various student organizations and clubs catering to diversity. Admissions tries to recruit kids from around the world to apply, and many do. The stereotypical Colby student is still, however, a wealthy, white prep-school kid from Boston.

Banned Frats
I prefer not to have Greek life on campus. The whole system was abolished years ago. I hear that there is an underground fraternity off campus though. But it's not very popular or active in Colby's culture.

Colby's Great!
Colby's in a great location in the middle of beautiful Maine where many students go to hike, ski, kayak, or explore. On campus, the people are friendly, the food is excellent, and the professors are engaging. My only complaint is that the dance program is lacking, and there are no dance schools in Waterville to keep up technique. All they have is yoga and very elementary ballet classes. Theater and dance are lumped together as a department, when I think they should be separate.
