[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are much better options out there, for kids with OKish grades and ECs looking for a small college experience.

Conn has long been the academic and athletic doormat of the NESCAC,  and the school has unfortunately integrated that loser status into its programs and overall vibe.  Doesn't help that its physical plant is dated.  Or that drinking remains the main weekend activity  (with the weekend starting on Tuesday for some). Great place for New England boarding school students who were rejected everywhere else, but can't imagine going there from DC.[/quote]

This is really an uninformed post with a clear agenda, who apparently hasn’t even visited the beautiful campus.  It’s not Williams and doesn’t claim to be, but it has all the hallmarks of the NESCAC and is more suited for students with an artistic vibe, especially in music or dance. As pointed out above, it is one of only two NESCACs that give merit aid, and they give it freely.  Student life is much better since they replaced the president a few years ago.

It’s better academically than 80-90% of the LACs in the US.  No college is right for everyone.  Good choice for aspirational students and merit aid makes it an excellent low match/safety for strong applicants.

Visit and decide for yourself.  If you are going to other nescacs and ivies you’ll be nearby.[/quote]

Do you really think it's a beautiful campus?  You need to get out more.

And it's giving merit because no one thinks it's worth the full price. [/quote]

NP here. My kid is at school across the street, so we've spent a lot of the time in the area, and I can say with zero agenda that Connecticut College is [i]gorgeous[/i].[/quote]
