Intellectual Life in the Residence Halls

At Connecticut College, you'll stretch your mind outside the classroom too.

After class, you'll hold philosophical discussions with your professors, create home-cooked meals and collaborate on creative projects.

Faculty members work closely with students to present informal talks, plan educational programs and host study breaks -- all in the residence halls.

Some recent offerings:

• Japan's "culture and catastrophe" after the earthquake and tsunami
