My second son is looking at Colgate for Environmental Studies, with the intent of going on to Law School... Any opinions on Colgate?? Any other ideas??

The environmental program is among the strongest at the Colgate and is highly respected. I guess you visit its website for more details. If your son wants to go to Law School, he'll be in good company based on the number of Colgate grads through the years who have gone on to some of the best in the country including Yale, Harvard, Michigan, Stanford, Columbia, Georgetown, Emory, etc.

Other schools with environmental studies include Bowdoin, Middlebury, Dartmouth, Haverford, Wesleyan, Bates, Hamilton, Maclaester, Carlton, Oberlin, St. Lawrence and Brown, among others. All of these schools will prepare your son for Law School.

Three other fine colleges to consider: Williams, Lafayette and Trinity.

I posted elsewhere hoping for information about Lafayette. Can you share what you know about the school and why you would recommend it? Thanks.
