Connecticut College Reviews
Rating 3.41 out of 5 428 reviews
Great school! Great professors and awesome students. I was very apprehensive about going to such a small school, but my experience has been amazing. The school is small and the class sizes are small, so you can really get to know your professors and the students around you. Unlike other high academic schools, your classmates are always willing to help you. Great experience for me.
Conn's flexible majors and engaging professors made it an awesome educational experience. It's Career Office is incredibly helpful not only in providing students with job-search skills, but offers a variety of grants and scholarships to allow students the freedom to pursue international internships!
Connecticut College is an absurdly overpriced institution with decent academics and a respected reputation. Unfortunately, it greatly lacks the name brand awareness that its competitors like Wesleyan, Trinity, and Hamilton all boast. I found the teaching faculty to be great (most of the time with a few exceptions), and the campus to be very quaint. Perhaps the biggest issue with conn is its student culture, there is a great divide among the athletes and narps, and the pandemic has only worsened this issue. If you are someone considering conn solely because you were admitted and think it has a good reputation, this is not the school for you. Outside of those who attended NESCAC schools, it is rare you will find somebody who knows that conn college is a strong academic institution. If you are inclined to go because you prefer a small setting and want to have your education heavily influenced by academia and the arts, then it may be the place for you.
