Conn Coll is is great school academically. The teachers are very helpful because the classes are so small. Most of the classes are interesting, they have lots of classes to choose from and the prerequisites are easy to fill.

The people are very nice, a lot of artsy people, some hipsters, and the rest are preppy kids. The teams here are like cults- they all stick together and if you are not on a team it can be hard to get connections for parties. The "lax bros" here are douche bags as usual and because our population here is so small it is hard to find guys or girls that you may actually have a connection with- its very limited.

This brings me to the social scene- mostly friends drinking in their rooms and then around 5 everyone goes to the Cro Dances where guys basically butt rape you like every other dance (nothing special) Some kids go down to the ridge (upper classmen housing) where it is dirty and small, I havnt actually been to a good party there but I have heard of some good ones. Most of the parties happen on thursdays and saturday nights- nothing on Fridays. A lot of the nights consist of walking around campus trying to find a party.

Other than this I have definitely found great friends and people here which makes it easier. My advice is to come here for the classes and people, but dont come here if you want to go out and party, this is a small school so its not your average college experience, which is a little disappointing.
