Connecticut College - Student Life

Student Life

  • The Honor Code is signed by all students upon matriculation. It allows a strong student voice in shared governance through the Student Government Association, and the luxury of self-scheduled, unproctored exams. Because of the Honor Code, students are treated by faculty, staff, and the administration as mature adults. A student-run judicial board, now known as the Honor Council, adjudicates alleged infractions of the Honor Code.
  • Through a gift by an alumnus, Connecticut College students may take music lessons during the semester at no charge.
  • Connecticut College has seven a cappella groups: three women's groups (the ConnChords, The Shwiffs and Miss Connduct), one men's group (the Co Co Beaux), and three coed groups (Conn Artists, Vox Cameli, and Williams Street Mix).
  • WCNI (90.9 FM), the college radio station, broadcasts a variety of music including polka, blues, and celtic music shows. A 2,000 watt transmitter installed in 2003 reaches much of Connecticut, parts of Rhode Island, and parts of southwest Massachusetts.
  • The College Voice, Connecticut College's only student newspaper, is an editorially independent print and online publication. Students print weekly, and handle all aspects of production: reporting, editing, ad sales, management, photography, layout, multimedia and design. They also run a variety of guides and blogs, like the New London local dining guide and the summer student intern blog The Summer Voice.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:

    “In the student sensuality is a sluggish habit of mind.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Not too many years ago, a child’s experience was limited by how far he or she could ride a bicycle or by the physical boundaries that parents set. Today ... the real boundaries of a child’s life are set more by the number of available cable channels and videotapes, by the simulated reality of videogames, by the number of megabytes of memory in the home computer. Now kids can go anywhere, as long as they stay inside the electronic bubble.”
    —Richard Louv (20th century)
