"Chartered in 1813, Colby is the 12th-oldest independent liberal arts college in the nation, and in 1871 it became the first previously all-male college in New England to admit women. Before World War II, trustees voted to move the College from its crowded site in downtown Waterville to a handsome new campus that overlooks the city and now comprises 713 acres. Since 1937 the College has built 62 buildings on Mayflower Hill, and in 2004 the developed portion of the campus was expanded with the opening of the Colby Green, where three new buildings are planned.

Colby is a highly selective liberal arts college offering world-class academic programs, strong international study options, a growing array of community- and service learning-based opportunities, a supportive community atmosphere, and rich opportunities after graduation."
