![]() ![]() There really isn’t a divide between poor and rich students as most people are rich, it is a small private school so a lot of people come from boarding/private school. People assume its a preppy vibe because it’s a lot of private school kids, but I get more of an artsy and laid back vibe on campus. Most students at CC are pretty rich, not really preppy though and pretty much everyone is super friendly. I hope you guys enjoy your day and Happy Holidays! As I said, I don’t have a chance to visit the campus so your insights, and opinions mean so much to me and I will be applying to schools and this is the only chance for me to know more about the school. Are students accepting of all races, are there any racism incidents at Conn? (I know every school is not perfect and I get that )Īgain, thank you soo much for your help and thanks for reading all my questions. ![]() Being an Asian student, I am just a bit worried about being a minority will feel like. What is the career services like at Connecticut College, especially in International Relations/Economics, are there any career fairs on campus or opportunities for students to meet employers? I know that this isn’t true but there is a stigma in my country about liberal arts colleges that it is hard to find a job with a liberal arts degree. How accepting is Conn, and are there many LGBTQ students? I think that being in an accepting environment is really important for me because it means I can be myself! I am also a part of the LGBTQ community. Are parties exclusive (I know this is a case with fraternities but since Conn doesn’t have frats I was wondering how parties at Conn are). Party scene: how is the social/party scene like at Conn? I do like to party and I want to go to a school where it’s like work-hard, play-hard definitely. Are social groups/friends formed based on their financial abilities in Conn? What was your experience like as a first-year meeting new students? Since I will be applying for financial aid I was wondering if there is a divide between students who are there on financial aid and students who aren’t. What are the students like at Connecticut College? I can see some people saying that they are preppy elitists but I was wondering how you would describe the students at CC now? Also, I am not familiar with the term preppy…what does this actually mean if you would describe students as preppy? Because I am an international student, I do not have the opportunity to visit any colleges before applying and therefore your answers would mean so much to me, thank you in advance! Williams as an institution tries to provide a variety of co-curriculars since it’s a rural area and there’s not much to do off-campus.I was just finding threads about Connecticut College and there isn’t a lot so I wanted to ask a few questions. ![]() We’re a very outdoorsy campus but we have plenty of things to do related to arts, research, activism, and community service. On the flip side, Williams students work hard and party hard so we have a good party scene. Now this isn’t to sound defeatist, making friends at Williams is easy, the difficulty (I think) is in finding your group if the first couple of weeks don’t go well. Friend groups are formed usually within the first few weeks of classes and then they’re kinda your group for the rest of your four years. You either have a friend group or you hop from group to group. To put it bluntly, it’s a LAC and that means it’s not only small but caters to a specific demographic. It really comes down to personal choice and how you want to handle Williams as an individual. Some students intentionally take “easier classes” and sometimes feel bored but generally have time outside of academics, other students feel as though academics take up all of their time because they take harder classes. For other majors, it honestly comes down to classes. STEM majors typically are overworked and don’t do much beyond their research and homework after their first year. ![]() Do students have time to pursue non-academic hobbies? ![]()
