Great post! Please feel free to also join the conversation on the thread I’ve linked here:
I suggest Conn to a lot of my students. It is a bit under the radar and it shouldn’t be. Many people have heard of some of the other NESCACs but perhaps not Conn. When we visited, the friendly vibe was noticeable. It’s an excellent school and is able to stand on its own, not just as a NESCAC.
Re your comment about FA, I think this is standard practice at many colleges. FA can change from year to year. It’s the responsibility of the family to be aware of FA terms and conditions.
