Cute and Fun
Waterville has a surprisingly large amount to offer Colby students. The food is AMAZING. Honestly, they have the best Thai restaurant that I have ever eaten at. Wal-Mart is a huge hub, but a lot of students shop at the local shops, which have a lot more than Wal-Mart. Also, we have locally grown food, which is delicious!

People Usually Eat on Campus - the Food Is Too Good!
There is a a lot of varieties in Waterville. I can think of seven different places to buy food off of the top of my head. They're really cheap. I always buy food for my room. But, the food on campus is amazing. Honestly, a comedian that came to Colby asked the audience about the food, and we all agreed that it's amazing. That killed some of her jokes; it's a good thing she asked first.

Attention to the Students and Relationships With Professors
The students really matter at Colby. Administration, faculty, and staff really care. Everyone is so friendly; being smart is a given. Also, the professors actually want to learn your names and build a relationship. I've already gone to multiple professor's houses tons of times to have dinner and a lecture, or just dinner. Everyone is very supportive and you can make a difference on campus. Student opinion matters. Colby College is an intellectual friendly atmosphere teeming with discourse between students and students, students and faculty, students and administration, and students with staff.

Easily Found
Almost everyone has a computer on campus, but there is a prodigious amount of computer labs on campus. For example, Lovejoy has four large computer labs and The Library has four as well. Finding a computer is never difficult.

Very Lax
Honestly, no one cares as long as you aren't blatantly drinking in a security guard's face, and even then, they just ask you to step back into a room or throw away the drink. It's incredibly chill. They just want you to be responsible—don't puke in the bathrooms and don't party in the hallways, and you'll be fine.

LOVE - Kind of Chilly Though
The fall is so gorgeous! Everyone is afraid of the winter, but it's a lot worse in the telling than in the living. During the winter, it is actually sunny. One delirious morning I looked out of my window and thought I was in Florida (that's where I'm from)—that's how bright it is. It looks like it should be 70 degrees when it's actually 16. Also, the ugly dirty snow doesn't really exist in Maine. It snows too much. Everything looks pristine.
