Colby College sits on a hill, with beautiful views of the surrounding city and countryside. The popular and well-regarded programs include economics and biology, followed closely by English, government, and history. Forty-nine percent of all classes have 25 or fewer students. Colby was the first men's college in New England to admit women, and also the first to establish a special January term. Motivated students might use the month off to serve an internship, study abroad, or prepare an in-depth report. There are two “bigsecrets” about Maine winters: they are beautiful, and they are a lot harsher in the telling than in the living. But, an enthusiasm for chilly weather and outdoor sports are the major nonacademic credentials needed to find contentment. Non-varsity athletes are eager participants in 10 club teams and six intramural sports.
