HELP! Connecticut College vs. Vassar

Colleges & Universities A-Z Vassar College

<p>well, other than Vassar’s financial aid being $2000 cheaper and cheaper in the long run due to Vassar’s limit on the amount of student loans they let students take…</p>

<p>I basically realized that Vassar has everything that Conn has, plus a better location, students more like me, and an easier possibility to double major. I’m really glad these responses reminded me of that fact. At Conn, I was quickly realizing that double majoring would be impossible because it would leave me no room to explore. At Vassar, I have more room to explore and the only requirements are classes I would take regardless. Plus, it always helps that my best friends are going to Marist!</p>

<p>Congratulations on your decision eplatt13! Glad we could help.</p>

<p>You will love it and you made a great decision! Vassar has a MUCH better reputation and you will benefit from that for the rest of your life. Conn is largely known only regionally, but Vassar is know nationally and internationally. We live below the Mason-Dixon line and I’m blown away how highly revered Vassar is everywhere. My VC2017-bound daughter gets gasps and “ooohs” whenever people find out where she goes. You made the right choice! Enjoy your upcoming adventure!</p>

<p>HShelper-
Gotta wonder if we are neighbors down here way south of the Mason Dixon. I went to VC back when dinosaurs had tea in the Main parlours and I must admit that the school’s name recognition has served me well. Even better than my grad school.</p>

<p>Vassar still serves tea every day in the Rose Parlor, albeit in styrofoam, not china. Sounds like we should get the Vassar Sustainability group on it!

<p>oh wow I hadn’t checked in here for awhile. I am SO glad the O.P. chose Vassar!! Just my opinion but I really think Vassar has a much better and wider reputation than Conn. My son will be a junior this year and he is an English major and also takes a lot of Spanish courses. He LOVES the school. The teachers are fantastic and he (although a basically shy person) has formed wonderful relationships with them. The student body is not just very good, it is EXCELLENT. It’s a very accepting environment. He’s brought home a number of friends during vacations and they are the nicest young people – polite, bright, gracious, involved. As far as going where they wanted you originally, it means NOTHING once you’re in. Nothing. </p>

<p>So Congratulations, you’re going to a GREAT school.</p>
