Connecticut College was my first choice, and I felt very lucky to be able to attend. It's got a great atmosphere and the classes are really interesting. All of my professors have been very willing to give outside help and provide fun, creative assignments that actually get you thinking about the work. Coming from New York City and the United Nations International School for high school, the only downfall I see at Conn is the huge lack of diversity. However, it's something that the school is working on.

Thursday and Saturday nights are always loud and busy, but if you want to study there's always someone to study with as the students are both interested in academics and fun. The sports teams are fine, though so far I haven't seen a huge amount of enthusiasm for anything except Hokey - and the games I've been to are intense!

The dorms are pretty good and the structure of house fellows and Student Advisers is really well put together. They do pretty well at matching roommates, though I have seen some flaws happen they're always willing to help you fix your problems with your roommates.

I love Conn overall and am so excited to be a part of the student body!
