Connecticut College Top Questions

Connecticut College has a club for almost every interest. Though it has fallen off lately, my freshman year there was a Steve Buscemi club. I was never a member, but from what I heard the club just met and watched Steve Buscemi movies. And they got school funding to do so. If you can’t find a club that fits your tastes, you can apply for school funding and make the club. It is not a very difficult process. As for partying, Conn is very dorm-o-centric. With over 98{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of students living on campus, partying happens here. In dorm rooms, in dorm hallways, sometimes in dorm bathrooms. It can get pretty old. However, there are not many other options. New London is opening up as an alternative to hanging out on campus, but it is not there yet, and the campus events (dances on most Thursdays and Saturdays [the party nights]) are geared towards the ludicrously inebriated. I would like the campus to bring more alternative events to campus (movies, music, other social alternatives?), but like any small school in the middle of nowhere, the weekends consist of drinking.

The dance department is incredibly amazing. The faculty is an assortment of modern dancers who come from different backgrounds and that bring amazing skill and technique to the department. Our dance club shows are the most attended events on campus, selling out three nights each semester. The class "experimental workshop" is essentially the most popular class on campus as well (we have general education requirements that need to be filled and it fulfills your creative arts requirements) and it is pretty funny-you're in a class filled with such a broad spectrum of individuals, from hockey players to math majors to actual dancers and everyone is forced to be immediately comfortable with touch and one another.
