Financial Aid Not So Great
Students Say - Student Body
People are just nice at Conn College, and friends aren't hard to come by." Most people here are highly involved in the social and academic atmosphere of the school, play a sport, and are "open-minded and involved in a variety of activities." "For better or worse, people are unapologetically themselves...it is a unique quality about Conn that makes it both wonderful and unbearable at times," says one student. The typical student is from "right outside of Boston, New York, Connecticut, or any other New England state." There "is not a particularly diverse student body at Conn," though life experiences and interests of the students make it so that the perceived diversity is "truly immense." "Generally, students are wealthy" and "uncommonly good-looking." There "are a few academic superstars but, for the most part, students are on the same page academically." The school has many international students and study- abroad options to promote academic and personal diversity.

Chartered in 1911, Connecticut College was founded in the spirit of political and social equality, self-determination, and shared governance. The College actively seeks out students who are not only smart and intellectually curious, but who also bring a wide range of life experiences and perspectives that enable this spirit to endure within the College community. The College's near century-old Honor Code defines campus life and is observed by all students, faculty, and staff. Intellectually and academically, the Honor Code inspires students to challenge themselves and their peers to see the world from diverse perspectives, to remain receptive to new ideas and experiences, and, by instilling a sense of mutual respect, to consider how their actions and education may ultimately better the common good. The College offers over 47 majors and minors and participates in the NCAA Division III New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC.) The College is nationally known for career and internship placement and has been called a "college with a conscience," as one of the top schools sending students to Teach for America or the Peace Corps. Enrollment at the College for 2010-2011 is 1,900. In the past four years, eighteen Connecticut College students have been awarded Fulbright Scholarships.
