Modern authenticity

It focuses on creativity and living up to your potential, which is very refreshing because it encourages you to explore your authenticity. However, i believe that it needs to find a balance and implement more traditional or basic academic aspects.

Student services

The Colby College Student Government Association (SGA) serves the student body by enhancing the student experience through programming and policy.  The Association fosters a campus environment built on integrity, respect, and community. It promotes a culture of consent, serves as a resource for students to achieve their academic, extracurricular, and personal goals; and provides transparency with Colby’s Administration.  SGA also provides opportunities for students to become productive leaders of the campus, local, and global communities.  Through its service to the College, the SGA aims to create a positive and rewarding experience for all those who step foot on Mayflower Hill.

Housing services

The ideal residential experience offers onsite resources and built-in community. Each of our 26 residence halls is a microcosm of Colby. Students of various classes are housed together—sharing space and pride of association.

  • Living with students gives first-years constant access to advice, information, and support from those who already know their way around.
  • Being clustered with other first-years within mixed-year housing means new students get to learn with and lean on others who are just getting started.

Library services

  • Bixler Art and Music Library
  • Miller Library
  • Science Library
  • Special Collections

ICT services

Student Computer Services (SCS) is the students’ computer support gateway on campus. Staffed by students, SCS is available free of charge, seven days a week during the academic year.

Medical services

The Garrison-Foster Health Center provides quality health care, health education, preventative services, and opportunities for experiential learning to Colby students. We are advocates for the life-long health and wellness of our community.

Campus life

Colby’s campus comprises 714 acres and 64 buildings, including 30 residence halls, three dining halls, three libraries, a student union, an extensive athletic complex, 50 acres of fields, and one of the nation’s premier institutions of American art, the Colby College Museum of Art. Most of Mayflower Hill, including all of the 128-acre Perkins Arboretum and Bird Sanctuary, is a State Wildlife Management Area.
