Connecticut College was excellent preparation for my firstEconomics
Connecticut College was excellent preparation for my first job and life in general. I had challenging, interesting, and knowledgeable professors at Conn that were always accessible and available. I value my time there and have reaped the benefits from the first-rate education. I also made friends that will be life-long and with whom I had the most amazing adventures at Conn and abroad.

If you are in the arts, it is a good school to attend. If interested in anything else look somewhere else

I would definitely reevaluate your decision to applyQuite BrightUndecided
I would definitely reevaluate your decision to apply to/attend Conn if you are thinking about it. It is essentially a far worse repeat of high school. The faculty is great but you are babied and it is way too easy to do well and get an A. The social life is abysmal as well as the diversity among the student body. A large portion of every freshman class transfers after their first year. If you are looking to be challenged, prepared for the real world after college, have fun, go to school in a vibrant area, and meet people from a wide array of backgrounds I would definitely not attend Conn College. The faculty members are great (for the most part) and if you look very hard you will find great friends but other than that Conn College is a $65,000 a year high school. In order to make it 4 years you will have to grin and bear it and convince yourself that you "love" your mediocre school.
