Plenty of It, but Not Always Convenient.
There are plenty of places to park a car if you have one on campus. The fees aren't outrageous and because everyone lives on campus, students don't have a crucial need for cars. The areas you can park you car in are not always the most convenient places. For instance, most freshman are assigned to the parking lot by the Athletic Center which is about a ten minute walk from certain parts of campus. And if you fail to park in your assigned lot, you can look forward to a ticket.

Some Great Dining Options and Student Discounts
In Downtown New London there are some great dining options various kinds of food to check out that often give great student discounts. Bank Street and State Street have some good places like Muddy Waters Cafe and Northern Indian Restaurant. Also, for great and inexpensive seafood located on the water, check out Captain Scott's Lobster Dock in New London. And for great tapas, check out Cafe 57 Restaurant and Bar. All of these places have great service as well.

Conn Only Has on-Campus Housing
Hope you like your classmates, because you'll be living with them for four years.
Having only on-campus is very convenient, but it is a reminder that you are on a small campus and will inevitably see the same people everyday. There are some choices for housing that separate you from the main campus. These options include River Ridge Apartments, Abbey House, and Winchester House. These are great places to live for upperclassmen and allow you some separation from the main campus.
