Not really. Conn College is not close enough to either city that you can do an internship easily without spending a term off campus, which you can do just about as easily from CO (or WA). In fact, the block plan gives you more flexibility in scheduling internships or study abroad (because you can arrange them in 10-week increments). Conn, Whitman, and CC are all “national” LACs. They draw students from nearly every state (and abroad); their alumni work all over the country (and to some extent, the world).
Granted, you can get to NYC or Boston via ground transportation from Conn College (but not from CC or Whitman, realistically). In that respect, Conn College is a little more convenient … if you are intent on a career in the NE.
