Connecticut College

Conn College is a picturesque liberal arts school that has committed itself to sustainability, community service, and learning. As a more rural school, the bulk of social life takes place on campus and in the dorms. That being said, there are great athletic opportunities in addition to their stellar academics. Boasting a strong focus on interdisciplinary education, classes are small with an emphasis on discussion and self-scheduled exams. Academics are rigorous, but relevant to life outside of class. The student body is in general close-knit and supportive.
