Connecticut College

COOP (Conn’s Outdoor Orientation Program) is worth considering if you’re into outdoorsy activities. You’ll make some friends before school even starts.

Orientation might seem silly and pointless, but it’s a great way to meet people and make first impressions.

The official Connecticut College mascot has one hump—don’t buy camel dolls/decorations with two!

Taking time to seriously plan out the layout of your room with your roommate(s) is not just a girl thing. Do it.

Unless you know exactly what you want to major in, take four classes your first semester that have nothing to do with one another. You might find something you love.

Connecticut College is a really preppy school.

Many students would rather complain about the social life than try doing something different.

Depending on how involved you are, the school can either seem like the hub of the universe or a desert island.
