Connecticut College Top Questions

I like the small class. Even in my biggest class (90 students) the professor knew my name. There are a lot of opportunities to get extra help. There are no teaching assistants and a lot of professors will even give you there cell phone number. The academics are competitive and very good.

there's a pretty good selection of classes that are very interessting and most often challenging. the General Education requirments give you a chance to try some new things; things that you would never have tried otherwise.

Professors always know your name at conn. classes are small with the exception of a few large lectures for the science classes. we take 4 four-credit classes per semester, which makes the work load totally managable! classes are pretty challenging, but there are tons of places you can go to get help. if you dont have a major you want to declare, you can design your own.

One of the things I love about Conn is that almost all of my professors know my name. A couple of the introductory science courses have enough students that the professors do not get to learn everyone's name, but for the most part, professors call on you by name in class...if the class is large enough that a less formal discussion cannot be held. Classes range in size, but even first year students get the opportunity to take courses with very few students. My first year seminar, Women's Work in Creative Writing, only had six students, but first year seminars are not the only courses with just a few students. While I would not say that many students spend time outside of class with their professors, professors love for you to visit them during their office hours. In fact, I've even had professors require all the students in class to come to their office hours just to talk.

All of my profesors know my name. Students spend a good amount of time studying. However a popular phrase is "work hard, play hard." The amount of time spent studying really depends on your major with science majors being more time consuming. Class participation is very common. Conn Coll students do have intellctual conversations. Students help each other and want everyone to succeed. I am double majoring in Behavioral Neuroscience and Psychology and I love it. The professors are great and I find it really interesting. Education is

Conn's academics are top-notch. Classes are relatively small, and even lecture courses often feel smaller than they are. Professors usually know students' names after just a few weeks of having them in class. In my experience, professors are approachable and eager to help their students understand course material. Despite the caliber of academics at Conn, students are not competitive with each other. I have no what my friends' GPAs are like, and I honestly don't care. One of the things that sets Conn apart from other schools is the laid-back atmosphere around academics. Most students are pretty chill, even when they're stressed out. The night before finals started for the fall semester, the dining hall opened up from 10 PM until midnight and served everyone breakfast food. It was an awesome way for everyone to take a break from studying and just relax with their friends for a while. The general education requirements here are easy to fulfill in a variety of ways, and there hasn't been a course that I've absolutely had to take. Some of my required courses were covered by AP classes, and I was even able to fulfill my math requirement with a course from the philosophy department.

Professors have always known my name. I even have a lecture class with at least 60 students and my professor called me by my name in class! I study everyday for 3 hours. My favorite class so far was a political theory class because the professor was very interesting and since he was excited about the subject it made me excited about it! I can definitely use the education I am getting at Conn to get me very far in life!

Professors put a lot of effort into helping students and are very enthusiastic about the courses they teach. There are any options for different classes and little to no competition within a class, students are always willing to help each other. The academic requirements are also fairly easy to fulfill.

If you don't want your professor to know your name, don't come to Conn! I have close relationships with all my professors because of the small class sizes. Some of the unique classes I have taken include "Words in Translation" (translation between French and English), "Women's Work in Creative Writing" (a class with 6 female students where we shared our written work), and "Introduction to Mathematical Thought" (math for people who don't like math.) There are some core requirements, but they're not so intense that you can't choose any classes. (You only have to take one class from each of 7 different areas, as well as Writing Intensive and language classes.)

I know all of my professors' names, their email addresses (if they have them), and their private telephone numbers. More so than in high school, class discussions carry on outside the classroom. It's a great feeling to know that the subject matter you are learning pertains to real life.
