College Prowler Quotes

Read Hundreds of Quotes from Connecticut College Students

Read samples from the Connecticut College guide below:

Academics

“Just like anywhere, I imagine, there are all types of professors. Some of them are kind, dedicated, and interesting. Others are harsh or boring. Most of my professors were really good about meeting with students, if the students so wished. One good thing...”

Diversity

“We’re trying to make it more diverse but as of now, it’s not. That’s a problem with any New England school, though, and that is celebrated.”

Guys & Girls

“Conn College is, and has always been, high up in the rankings for the most beautiful student body contest.”

Academics

Often referred to as a “Little Ivy,” Connecticut College has strong and innovative academic programs. Rather than follow a predetermined list of classes, students are encouraged to actively plan out their education at Conn. Some of the special options include designing a major, developing a concentration, participating in a certificate program, or writing an honors thesis. Many students take advantage of these opportunities, and the variety of individual projects happening on campus make academics exciting....

Diversity

Diversity is difficult to measure at Connecticut College.

Almost daily, there are dialogues, lectures, and presentations on topics ranging from affirmative action, to white privilege, to the experience of interracial dating on campus. The cultural groups are completely inclusive in their membership and are a strong force on campus life. There...

Guys & Girls

Maybe it’s Connecticut College’s history as a former all-girl’s school, or maybe just pure chance, but the ratio of guys to girls is about forty to sixty. Translation: guys have good odds here for a love connection, or at least a hookup. More often than not, Conn students aren’t looking for long-term relationships, but serious relationships can develop from random hookups. Dances at Cro provide more than ample opportunity for both sexes to find a potential hookup buddy. If you like to take it slow in...

Athletics

Even though Conn is a Division III school, athletics are vital to campus life. Once afternoon classes finish up, it seems like the whole school suits up for practice or gets ready for a workout. Conn competes in the NESCAC (New England Small College Athletic Conference) against a difficult roster of opponents, featuring the likes of Colby and Trinity. The Camels typically don’t get a lot of fan support at home, which is a shame, because all sporting events are free and easily accessible. Varsity sports...
