As a residential college, Colby is shaped to a great degree by the diversity of its students. Therefore, we seek people who will contribute to our community in a variety of ways: those who are eager to learn, who are willing to explore new fields, and who are enthusiastic about life in general. In making admission decisions, we seek excellence—in academics, art, music, theater, work experience, publications, leadership, public service, and athletics. We value diversity throughout the College and seek candidates from all parts of the country and the world.

Each year more sophomore and junior Colby students study off campus during the second semester than during the fall, and 30 to 40 spaces for incoming students usually become available at the beginning of the January term. Some student applicants may be offered admission for midyear. For these students, Colby offers two fall-semester abroad options.
