Campus life
Find yourself at home

With award-winning dining and dorms, a picturesque campus, and a sought-after location — it's no wonder the Princeton Review ranks us #14 for Best Quality of Life and #11 for Happiest Students.

High value
Expect more from your college
College is one of the most significant investments you’ll make. You deserve a return that exceeds expectations. That’s where the Skidmore 360 Promise comes in. Beyond rigorous academics, we offer four years of unparalleled extracurricular opportunities — the “extras” that set us apart as a top-tier institution.

In their words
Student Stories

At Skidmore, students often say they come here to "do both." They’re drawn by the freedom to pursue multiple passions — whether it’s science and music, performance and politics, or any combination in between.

And while we could tell you all about it, we think you should hear it from them.
