About Gate House

Gate House is one of Colgate's smaller special-interest or themed residences, offering a tight-knit house-style living experience for a small group of upperclassmen. The intimate scale — typically under 20 residents — creates a community feel more akin to a co-op or small group house than a traditional residence hall. Semi-private bathrooms, a shared kitchen, and in-building laundry give residents a high degree of independence. Gate House lacks central air conditioning. The small-scale house format is one of Colgate's most distinctive residential offerings, allowing interest groups or self-selected cohorts to build a genuinely close community over the course of a year.
