Colby College

Colby College is one of my very top favorite colleges so far, along with Brown University. I fell in love from the first sight with its wonderful look and extremely comfortable athmosphere, a charming tiny coffee shop (which was closed in the summer, of course), a great bookstore, full of all kinds of stuff, all these beautiful sitting areas outside... everything here is done with love and to make the best experience for students. I also love that it is so old and has a great history. The acceptance rate is 10%. Any student will be not just lucky to get in, but also happy here, no doubts.

Colby stands as one of the preeminent liberal arts colleges not just in Maine, but in all of New England. It's unique 4-1-4 plan enables students to take intensive courses in January, while the curriculum encourages intellectual curiosity. If you are ever in Waterville, be sure to check out Colby!

Took my elderly mother-in-law and my 6 year old son to sit by rhe pond. Had comfortable benches and a nice lawn to play on. Saw a little muskrat, 4 turtle sunning on a log, and tons off different size fish! Wonderful place to explore!

My son graduated from Colby two years ago and our family thought the school was awesome. The college provided my son a great, well rounded education. He double majored in Math and Economics. The campus, professors and students were so welcoming. An overall awesome experience. The students and faculty are overwhelmingly happy, you'd think the winters would depress them, but they all thrive in the snow. It would be tough not to be happy on that beautiful campus. It looks like something from a movie.

I took a day trip to the Art Musem for an Andrew Wyeth exhibition. It was a wonderful museum on a beautiful college campus. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the museum has no admission fee. There is also a small Starbucks coffee booth inside the museum, so I bought a large black coffee, which kept me alert for the drive back to Aroostook County after my tour of the exhibition and other artists' works. There was road construction on some residential streets in the neighborhood of the campus, which confused my Google maps, but it was easy to figure out, and Google soon got back on track.

I've visited friends at Colby several times. It has a beautiful campus. It is a little unfortunate how the school is up on a hill in its own little bubble isolated from the rest of town. Also if you are here during the beginning or end of their semesters, watch out because the campus gets trashed due to the all campus parties that occur. They do offer a fantastic education and have great programming for students. NESCAC

Colby's campus is pretty, everything is well-manicured, Georgian and appropriately stately and looks EXACTLY as an upper crusty, preppy New England liberal arts college SHOULD look. Too preppy and "cookie cutter" for me. If I found Bowdoin & Bates that way, Colby's even MORE SO. It's like Amherst or Williams or Wesleyan -- NOT my "type" of college.
