Connecticut College - Guys & GirlsCollege Prowler3.46
College Prowler Take
Maybe it’s Connecticut College’s history as a former all-girl’s school, or maybe just pure chance, but the ratio of guys to girls is about forty to sixty. Translation: guys have good odds here for a love connection, or at least a hookup. More often than not, Conn students aren’t looking for long-term relationships, but serious relationships can develop from random hookups. Dances at Cro provide more than ample opportunity for both sexes to find a potential hookup buddy. If you like to take it slow in relationships, however, Conn may not be the place for you. Conn’s small size and plentiful single rooms could effectively make you roommates with your new boyfriend/girlfriend before you know it. Judging solely from student response, Conn guys, on the whole, are not hot, while Conn girls are more attractive than average. Both sexes care about their appearance; few stumble into class wearing crumpled clothes found under the bed. The dress code is decidedly preppy, and a group of students on campus can sometimes resemble a J.Crew ad. Then again, there is a significant portion of students who defy this edict and wear whatever they like. It all comes down to personal comfort. On the whole, Conn is a good-looking campus as long as your tastes don’t skew goth or punk. If so, you’re pretty much out of luck. It should be said that most students at Conn, guys and girls, are friendly and outgoing people. Students Speak Out

A lot of people here are either...
A lot of people here are either incredibly preppy or a little bit hippy. Obviously there are some people who aren't either of those, but Conn is very environmentally focused, so there are a lot of people who might be considered a 'hippy.' But its also a very expensive school, so there are a lot of people who are 'preps.' Its hard to describe a typical student here because they're so separated into categories - athlete or not, preppy or hippy, etc.

There are many kinds of people here. Some are incredibly nice, and some are incredibly obnoxious. There are jocks and party girls, just like any other colleges. It all depends on what kind of people you associate with.

The typical Conn College girl is...
The typical Conn College girl is sophisticated and fashionable, but not afraid to party hard. There are definitely plenty of beautiful ladies at this school. Everyone on this campus follows their own style, and in terms of the kind of guys here, I think there's a wide spectrum (from hipster to bro) at Conn. The dating scene isn't too exciting though; most people settle for random hookups if they can't find a good relationship (and not many people look too long for this).

There are more girls than guys at...
There are more girls than guys at Conn. There are a ton of different types of people, but the common stereotype is that we are white, preppy, and rich. Actually, that's not the case. Although there are some WASP-y types, most people are really friendly and intelligent. I'd say the girls are more attractive than the guys are, but that's not to say there aren't attractive guys. A lot of students are outgoing and involved.

Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls
If you're looking for a relationship, the best way to meet someone is to join a club, organization, sports team—anything to get out of your room and meeting people. Conn is a pretty diverse school in terms of interests, so it helps to know that you have at least one common interest with the guy/girl you have your eye on. Conn parties are another way to go about this, but chances are you'll be too sloshed to make a lasting impression. Assuming you have someone you want to ask out, but are too shy, you could always try inviting him or her to your dorm’s Crush Party. Here’s how they work: you’ll get two tickets, one for you and one to send anonymously to your crush. Several dorms take part in each Crush Party, so if everyone participated, there would be a good turnout. Unfortunately, no one ever does, so don’t count on a Crush Party changing the fact that your crush doesn’t know you’re alive.
Dress Code
There is no escaping the fact that Conn is a preppy school. At times, it feels like J.Crew and Abercrombie and Fitch are the school's mandatory uniform.
