    Junior : I have had a great experience at Colorado College pursuing a major in Molecular Biology with a minor in Human Biology and Kinesiology. The block plan; however, does not work for everyone. I will admit that it is difficult to learn all of the material you need to succeed in only three and a half weeks. Yet, if you prioritize your studies and focus on time management, you will do well. Having class on a typical 9-12 schedule allows me to have more time to do many of the activities that I enjoy including intramural sports, ceramics, and working in the athletic training room. I would definitely recommend checking this school out!

    Senior : Skidmore hosts the National College Comedy Festival every year! This is the largest college comedy festival in the nation. Not many people know this and it has been one of the highlights during my time at Skidmore. Another highlight of mine has been the Skidmore Outing Club. This club provides outdoor hiking, climbing, rafting, and backpacking trips every weekend. This allows students to explore the Adirondacks which are literally just outside Saratoga Springs. The school has amazing academics and professors, however, the thing that makes Skidmore special is its students. The school gives a lot of money to its clubs and the students truly create inspiring work. Whether it be tackling social issues, dancing, singing, comedy, or frisbee, the students never fail to share their creativity and dedication. Skidmore truly is an amazing school.
