• Student success is our number one priority. Every major decision here begins with the question: How will our students benefit?
• Our small class size (average 19 students) and talented faculty provide our students with personal attention and a challenging yet supportive academic environment.

• Colby-Sawyer blends the elements of a student’s college life--academic, co-curricular, social and athletic–into a cohesive educational experience.
• 100 percent our students gain vital pre-professional experience in their fields of study through one or more internships, which allow them to apply their knowledge and skills and build networks for future employment opportunities.

Living on campus is an important part of the Colby-Sawyer College experience, and all full-time undergraduate students whose families are not local live on campus. The residence halls are alive with activity and are places where students find friends and build communities.

First-year students live in Best Hall and Lawson Hall. Both halls are mixed gender, with roommates who identify with the same gender.
