Hey everyone.

I am seriously considering Connecticut College, great location, great school, sounds almost perfect. One big issue I have is the boy to girl ratio. 30/60 is pretty crazy. I’m a girl and I am interested in having guys around. I hear there is a big hookup culture at the school but is that really true with so few guys?! Is it competitive? Can someone tell me if it really feels that way when you are on campus? do you sense not many guys being around? in classes?
In general, what are students like? Are there parties on classes? do people like to go out or is it more sitting around and hanging out?

Thanks!
ps. I am not only interested in boys and parties in a college. I have done my research on academics and am happy. But realistically, the social life does play a major role in the next four years!

I’m a freshman at Conn and the ratio of guys to girls really isn’t that important/noticeable to me. In all of my classes there is a pretty decent mix of girls and guys. All of the other things you pointed out, academics, the campus and surrounding areas, the reputation, are great.
The social scene on campus varies depending on what you are interested in. There are parties on the weekends (Thursdays and Saturdays) at the upperclassmen apartments. They can be hard to get into if you don’t know upperclassmen or don’t play a sport. Otherwise, people generally hang out in each other’s rooms and spend the night going from room to room socializing. And yes, the hook up culture is very present on campus.
