Connecticut College Top Questions

yes

In some ways, but there is a bit of diversity.

Some are, but there are more people that don't fit the stereotypes than those that do

Some students are preppy, and most are rich, but for the most part they are all smart and kind people.

Somewhat. Perhaps it is because of associations with "Connecticut" but Conn College is not as preppy as comparable schools. While students tend to be wealthy, New Englanders from private schools there is a large contingency of off-beat, artsy kids at Conn that balance the preppier types. Therefore, there really is no Conn "type", there is a nice balance of preps, nerds, gamers, athletes, and most who do not fall into any one catagory.

Not at all. Demographically lots of the student body would be considered WASPS, but they are largely engaged, intelligent and kind. The ones who aren't are easily identified and avoided.

I disagree with this stereotype whole heartedly. While the school is beautiful it is in no way a country club nor is the general population white, rich and snobby, on the contrary we are mostly liberal open minded intellectual young men and women who are willing to hear and listen to all sorts of ideas and opinions and who do so much in the way of social change both within our immediate community and the greater society

Not at all, I've met many people from all over the place with an array of different backgrounds.
