International population.

There is the one overriding stereotype about Conn kids: white, well-off, and tend to be from either within 20 min of Boston, Fairfield county, or Long Island. These kids tend to be Preppy to the bone and definitely show it in their dress, and the demeanor. While these kids seem superficial and not worth anything, getting to know them shows a different side. Most of these kids look alike, but they are very different. A good amount of them are artsy and intelligent. Another big thing is that a lot of students are athletically inclined. About a third of the student body is a member of various varsity athletic teams and even more participate in club level sports. Most students strike me as intelligent and seem to fit into the school, but there are the fair amount of surprises.
