Skidmore College

Absolutely the best education you can get anywhere. I had an excellent four years at Skidmore, made lots of friends, and learned a great deal. The best part of this school are the students and professors. Every professor was there for me when I needed extra help, and nearly all were excellent public speakers who held the class’s interest. Scott M. (International Affairs), Duke F., Krista G. (Art), and Jim K. (Business) were the best and did everything they could for their students.
The students here are from all around the world and are mostly very friendly. It is one thing to learn about the world in a classroom, but living with people from every country imaginable for four years is an unforgettable experience. Everyone cares for each other here, and it is a really supportive environment. There is always something to do on weekends at this school as well.
After graduating, I visited this place and felt I was back with family. Simply amazing!

Outstanding liberal arts college of 2600 undergraduates located in a beautiful spot in Saratoga Springs, NY, north of Albany. Diverse student body with eminent faculty. President is a Yale PhD in Philosophy who is pushing the college toward a higher level of rigor and a much larger endowment. Exceptional pre-​professional major in Theater along with solid liberal arts majors in every area you would expect. Strong emphasis on creative thinking, environmental consciousness, and a growing level of support for building its science departments. Well-​designed and remarkably well-​appointed facilities, with an amazing cafeteria and superb performing arts spaces. A student-​centered campus that seems friendlier than some of the other New England area liberal arts colleges, and less pretentious.

Amazing place to be! Nothing more needs to be said, I’m grateful I’m here for college, since I’m going abroad next year I’ll miss you so much SKIDMORE! Love you!!!

What a beautiful campus — small and quaint. Very selective on student criteria. Wonderful Staff. I love doing business with Dr. Denise Smith and visiting Saratoga Springs. Diverse student body, and a simply gorgeous location.

You can Unilocal a college?!
Amazingly diverse crowd here. Everyone lives on campus and senior year housing is amazing. Apartment? More like apartment and a half!
Good downtown area too

ugh, how i loathe being rejected at union and cornell and needing to settle on this ‘gem.’

I love this place.
I’ll add more here when I have a chance… I just wanted to be the first to tell all of you Unilocalers how awesome this gem in the Adirondacks really is. From the academics and professors to the people you meet… it’s a great small, liberal arts college where you’ll have the opportunity to explore your interests and have a good time doing so. Plus, Saratoga Springs is a fantastic town with great restaurants, bars with personality (and CHEAP DRINKS), plenty of shopping, and enough culture to get you through the school year… and if you have a chance to stay for a summer, you’ll discover another side of the town that offers horse racing, live music in the streets and festivals that everyone in the family can enjoy. Hip hip hooray for Skidmore!!!
