Connecticut College Top Questions

Connecticut College is very adept at looking professional and not backing it up. Academics here are sometimes great and sometimes terrible. The housing lottery system is somewhat corrupt and a pain in the butt to deal with. SGA runs well and there is strong competitive involvement in anything bureaucratic at the school. New London is a terrible town with very little opportunity. However, the student body is smart and nicely sized. Everyone gets single rooms most of the time but access to kitchens is limited. The drinking culture is surprisingly large given no greek life but this is birthed out of the lack of other activities. The good things are: There is a great opportunity for anyone interested in Rock music via MobRock and most of the instrumental teachers are very strong. The CELS program can be helpful junior year and while graduating and CELS attracts many students. It has a beautiful campus and arboretum and it is small enough that student teacher relationships can be very strong. The Bad things are: Overall, in my opinion, Connecticut College is largely overpriced, the dining halls are diminishing in quality year after year, and too much money is spent on worthless things. Some professors should have been fired years ago and the school needs to allocate more money into departments that struggle financially. The school recently spent 8 million dollars on improvements like sidewalks and other worthless renovations that should have been spent on quality of life.

I love the dance department here. If anyone is considering getting a BA in dance, they should get it here. We have the best professors and the best studio spaces.
