Big Picture
One of the best things about Conn College is the honor code. The administration puts a great deal of trust in their student body. This means that during finals students may self-schedule their own exams, this flexibility actually alleviates so much stress because you can study at your own pace. Another great thing about the school is the small classes and the accessibility of professors. I have never had a professor that i hated or that was not understanding. In fact I have had several wonderful teachers. One thing I would change: the food. It's not horrendous but it could be better, I usually prefer Pizza.
Academic Life
I love that professors get to know my name. As far as studying goes, students make what they want to out of their classes. By this I mean that one could potentially get by and earn decent marks by going to class and not studying too much. On the other hand if one chooses classes that interest him/her, so that they are willing to invest time into studying and reading, then one can earn good grades. The professors usually notice and appreciate the individual's efforts. Class participation is common.
Student Body
Connecticut College is neither the most racially, nor the most socio-economically diverse community on the planet. Yet it is a very accepting community. The kind of student that would feel most out of place at Conn is one who is openly prejudiced. I would say the student body is predominantly left winged and generally they are politically aware.
