Virtual Tours
Narrated by a Colgate student, Colgate's virtual tour takes you to more than 20 locations on campus. Also check out supplemental tours of Colgate's library facilities.
Meet virtually with a member of the Colgate community
Our virtual tour, information session, and campus visit are a great introduction to 海角社区, but we know you may have additional questions or desire additional perspective. Colgate Admission Conversations, formerly referred to as virtual interviews, are a great opportunity for current high school seniors to meet 1:1 with a current Colgate student or alumni representative to have your questions answered and gain valuable insight from those who know Colgate best.
Colgate Admission Conversations, as part of Colgate鈥檚 admission process, are not required, and are non-evaluative.
The campus and its surroundings are inspiring.
