Connecticut College Top Questions

We do drink a lot. Probably more than the stereotype suggests. There are all kinds of people at conn.... not just preppy kids.

Yes fairly accurate

I bet not!

And while this may be true for a number of people, not everyone here fits that category. I know I'm certainly not driving my Land Rover around campus and wearing expensive designer clothes everyday! As a matter of fact, none of my friends are either. I think that this stereotype is similar for a lot of the NESCAC schools, but when you really start to talk to people, you realize that people at Conn come from all kinds of backgrounds.

definitely a lot of prep schoolers

I mean out of any state Massachusetts definitely is the most represented state on campus. At the same time though there are many students from other parts of the Northeast as well as some from the West, Midwest and South. Not to mention internationals, I think we have a relatively high percentage of international students for our size.

I would say that these stereotypes are accurate for the majority of students; however, that does not mean that everyone is preppy or from the upper-class. Many students dress in a preppy style, and hail from New England.

only with some people, most don't fit the physical and demographic stereotype as for the stereotype that our school is the safety school, that is true for about 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the students

I think any private liberal arts college is going to have kids who fit this stereotype, but I personally have found a group of friends that is completely opposite from the stereotypes!

No, they're not. See previous answer.
