Skidmore is a fun, and lively college whose students are diverse in their interests and active within the campus community. The professors are attentive and always open to talking with their students about classes, grades, or anything else that they need help with. As a whole the college is a friendly and welcoming community of people who are willing to support students in their endeavors, whatever they may be.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you are interested in Skidmore you should definitely go to the campus and get to know the community as best you can. You can take a tour, sit in on a class, visit a professor from a specific department to talk to them, and even try to stay overnight with a student. What sold me was when I visited the campus and got an inside look at what it was like to spend time there.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Despite the relaxed atmosphere and active social scene on campus Skidmore is also very academically rigorous. Professors will always expect your best and the good professors will know if you haven't tried hard enough.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm life is really great, the RA's always plan fun hall events, suite style dorms make it easy to meet people on your floor, and the rooms are all comfortable and pretty spacious. Also every room has a window seat which is awesome!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
I've been to lots of colleges and eaten at their dining halls but none have ever been as good as Skidmore's. They have awesome food, lots of variety, and they are really good about catering to vegetarians, vegans, and those with food allergies.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are always tons of things going on on campus like movies, club activities, dances, lectures, etc. But if none of that interests you there are also many restaurants downtown, a mall, and a movie theater all 10 minutes away from campus.
