[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is getting recruited at a bunch of D3 schools for her sport. One of the ones that is peaked interest is Connecticut College. Does anyone know anything about this college? The coach seems lovely, and I know it’s very expensive but I am hoping they offer a good scholarships and aid. Does anyone know the atmosphere, vibe, etc. Any information would be amazing.[/quote]

Did you visit? We thought the location was the worst of both worlds. It's stuck on the edge of a depressing city without anything to walk to, but also not near nature either. My urban loving kids rejected it based on location and so did my nature loving kid. [/quote]
Isn’t it right on the sound?[/quote]

No. That's a lie. It's not right on the sound.  Last fall, our tour guide had us stand on a bench so we could kinda make out that the sound was in it distance somewhere.  It's closer to a very industrialized river. [/quote]
Industrialized? What does that even mean? Sounds like a dam.[/quote]

The Thames River is very industrialized. It's a wide estuary river for traffic into the deep water ports of New London and Groton, two grubby, dirty little cities that are Conn's closest neighbors.   Not really scenic or quaint.  Mystic is pretty, but that's a drive. Your kid won't be hanging out in Mystic, or walking along a beach on the sound.  [/quote]
Sounds…fine. What a strange, useless observation. [/quote]
