Connecticut college?

Question

Can anyone tell me if its worth the crazy loans I'm going to have to take out to go there. I want to double major in philosophy and english ... strongly considering law school. Thanks for any help!

Answer 1

Connecticut College is a very fine school with a great reputation which has turned out a very successful alumni. Whether the education one gets is worth the tarriff one has to pay is questionable especially if you intend to go to Law school. Our outlook for the boys' educations was, where do they want to go, can we afford the tuition,are they in the right atmosphere? We hit 2 for 3 and after a year away the oldest went back to the same college nights, worked  a full job in the day time and graduated well.

Answer 2

its a party school nothing more. its not in the same league as the states best but its not a bad choice.

Answer 3

If you can get in there, you can get into a school of similar standings with better financial aid packages.  It's a fine school, but nothing overly special.

If law school is your goal, I would save $$ on undergrad and save for law school.  The law school you attend will have a greater influence on your eventual career and job options.
