Loved it!
Overall 4.9
Awesome place for those who want a smaller school where the professors know and care about the students. The integration of athletics and academics is second to none. Like any school, however, the experience is what you make of it.

Throughout my time at Conn, I learned an immeasurable amount from professors who I am now great friends with, I had experiences and went to places beyond my greatest imagination, I was given the best and most opportunities possible and Imade lifelong friendships. I didn't even know it was possible for me to grow and learn so much. I am so grateful.
