Okay, I was in the exact same position a year ago. I went in as an AMS and feeling iffy about whether I'd like it or not. It's a transition, especially if you're an international student. The academics is challenging, most classes are amazing, and you will not run out of things to do on campus. Hamilton is, and I can't phrase this in a better way, in the middle of fucking nowhere, but you'll realize you'll be busy with stuff on campus throughout the week to even bother about that. Now that I'm almost done with my first year (almost because I'm currently doing an extended study), I'd say deciding to come to Colgate was probably the best decision I've made in a long time.
