Hi! I have enrolled into Colby, but I have untill June 1st to request to defer enrollment (to take a gap year). Can anyone say from experience what is expected (and discouraged) in this request? My college counselor says colleges don't really care what I do in my gap, unless I'm rotting on the couch...

Thank you for the help!!!!!

I'm choosing between Wesleyan University and Colby College, and a big difference between the two seems to lie in the core curriculum.

- Can anyone speak to how (un)restricting the course distribution requirement feel at Colby College?

- Also, is it easy to get the courses I want within the core at Colby College?

This is coming from someone wanting to double major in Econ and English, and does not enjoy the hard, natural sciences. Thanks!!
