[quote=Anonymous]Other than the soccer fields on the lower end of the quad (love soccer and Conn College has an excellent team, but the placement of the practice fields was odd), Conn College has an attractive, though slightly dated, campus. After visiting all of the NESCAC schools except Colby and Trinity, Conn’s buildings were consistent with what one would expect from a small LAC with a comparatively modest endowment. That said, the students we met on our visit, including prospective teammates and kids in the dining commons and coffee house, were engaging and enthusiastic, the professors were eager to talk with our kid about his interests, the coach seemed deeply committed to his athletes, and the arboretum was beautiful. New London is definitely a little rough, but we found a couple of fun restaurants downtown. Our kid ended up at another NESCAC school, but he and I both liked Conn College a lot more than we expected to. It’s also about the only LAC with a stand-alone botany department if your kid is interested in that. If your kid is especially focused on athletics, the fit with the coaches and teammates takes on added importance.[/quote]
