The best thing about Conn is incredibly hard to choose but overall I would say it is the academics. The professors here are intelligent and interested in helping students learn and grow. I have never had a bad professor at Conn and I am always impressed by my classes and the other students in my classes immense intelligence as well. I love the beauty of the campus, my friendships, and the communities I've found here but in the end what I am paying for is the education here and that is what I am most impressed by.

The majority of students here live on campus and with that comes a high level of familiarity with just about everyone you run in to. Because everyone lives, eats and plays on campus there is a large sense of unity and students become very close within the residence halls.

The best thing would be the small environment, that is if that's what you're looking for. The intimacy among the students and staff is unmatched by other schools. There is a general feel of hominess and comfort.

The quality of the education really is superior. You'll work super hard but it's an extremely high-quality education.

The setting of the college has to be the best thing. The layout of the campus surronds a green center and common areas for students to study and hangout. allowing for the utmost interaction. Student run events involve the whole campus in large dances and other community events. The enclosure allows for the small number of students to really interact and become, especially in college, uncomfortably close friends as you really learn about an individual. The college really promotes student interaction from day one of freshman orientation to the end of senior year. They create a family from strangers.

One of the best things about Connecticut College is the honor code. The honor code is a set of rules that apply socially and academically, but which students enforce themselves. The honor code allows students to act like adults and bear responsibility for their actions. This adds to the cohesiveness of the Connecticut College community.
Natalie
I think that the school offers a great sense of community, even though there is no greek life, the dorm life is very involved.
Lauren
I think Conn has a great community of students, faculty and staff. Everyone seems to be concerned with things like diversity and the environment. I think people at Conn just really think everyone should be able to express themselves how they feel necessary, and they also want to create the best possible future for all.

The small class enable me to have really personal relationships with my professors.
