Student Life

Campus Life at Colgate is driven by our Residential Education program — a comprehensive four-year set of programs that builds on the traditional social and entrepreneurial skills of Colgate students while stressing the values of ethics and responsibility as students develop into leaders.


Students have expanded opportunities for leadership through initiatives and organizations focused on the arts and media, debate, politics, and social service. We are also strengthening our Division I athletics program, which is a national model for combining excellent athletics and academics.
