About Colgate University


The Campus
Colgate University is located in the village of Hamilton, in the historic district at the northern end of the Chenango Valley, in upstate New York. Hamilton, with a population of approximately 2,500, is an old and beautiful town centered around a village green. Students frequently shop in the village, but many resources are available to them right on the campus. The 515 acres of the campus rise from the valley floor and village edge to a forested hill. The campus hill is dominated by academic buildings and residence halls, with the older stately buildings above and much of the new modern architecture below. See Colgate Campus Map.
