As students grow intellectually and emotionally through their college years, they sometimes encounter concerns that can range from predictable and healthy developmental issues to significant psychological problems. The Office of Counseling and Psychological Services, housed at Conant House in a secluded glen on the upper campus, houses a qualified staff to help students address those concerns. The psychologists and counselors at Conant House are well-versed in responding to the issues that face college students. Individual counseling and psychotherapy, group therapy, educational workshops, outreach services, and consultation are provided at no additional charge. Professional standards ensure privacy and confidentiality.
Staff maintain an on-call system to respond to emergencies after hours.
I was pretty sick with mono first semester and spent a lot of time at the Health Center. Even when I was back in my room they called me to see how I was doing. Miller remembered my brother who attended Colgate ten years ago. You really get a lot of personal attention. When you go to the Heath Center they don't just tell you you're sick, they take the time to explain to you why you're sick.
