All Women??

According to collegeboard, conn college is 61% women. Do you notice this there, in your social life or just the overall atmosphere? Is it noticeable?

I'm a parent so I can't answer this directly. But my son went there (Class of '07) and really enjoyed it. He came away with a great education and lifetime friends -- both men and women.

its really only noticeable in the departments that are historically dominated by women, such as psychology and human development. you tend to forget most of the time.
it also helps that the coast guard academy, with ~70% men, is right across the street

Heyya, My daughter and I visited Conn Coll briefly, and stopped by the admissions office to ask a question. This cute boy ended up helping us, and I could see my daughter's eyes just glaze over! Needless to say, we will be checking out this school more thoroughly in the future!!

I'm a current student and I really never notice the difference..but humanities classes have more women in class. My math class last semester definitely had more men than women; also executive board of a club that I'm involved in has 11 people(5 men 6 women) so it really depends on your major and interests. Overall, I wouldn't say the ratio affects the life at ConnColl socially or academically-(probably same level as other LAC's)
