[quote=Anonymous]I'm an alum and DD, who wants a northeastern SLAC, is applying.  I have fond memories of my experience.  When I was there in the 90s, most of the social life took place on campus.  I always found there was plenty to do, and did not run out of new people to meet over 4 years, but I think that probably depends on the individual.  The Dance department is excellent, so it's certainly a good choice for that. DD especially likes how easy it is for non-majors to be involved in music.  Private music lessons are included in tuition regardless of major.  There are also a lot of campus bands, and of course, acapella.  Going off campus, it's nice to have a car.  When I visited recently, our tour guide told us that students get a certain number of free Lyft rides each semester.  I often went to Mystic, which is a 10-15 minute drive.  New London is kind of gritty, but there are some good restaurants and in the warmer weather months Ocean Beach.  There is a train station in New London served by Amtrak and commuter line, so it's possible to take the train to Boston, Providence or New York.  It would be easy enough to Lyft or Uber to train station.  Campus itself is beautiful and buildings seem in good repair (we've definitely seem some schools that have infrastructure issues and this is not one of them).  My impression of current students is that they are engaged but less intense than students at some of the more selective northeastern SLACs, so maybe a friendlier, more relaxed school.    [/quote]
