Highlights

• WCNI - the college radio station, billed as "Ground Zero Radio," based on the story that the station's transmitter was actually a target of Soviet ICBM's because it was the highest point in the area and close to the sub base. It has a variety of unique music unheard on most other stations including popular polka, blues, and celtic music shows.
• the Dance Department - Connecticut College has a very good dance department; there are always well respected visiting artists and professors in the department. Also, the students regularly perform during the year.
• the Theater Department - student productions, some student-directed, of excellent calibre, both at Palmer Auditorium and the blackbox Tansill Theater.
• The Connecticut College Arboretum- a fine 750 acre (3 km²) arboretum and botanical garden, and popular place for students to go and wander around and study. The arboretum is also open to the community.
• The Honor Code - signed by all students upon matriculation, allows a strong student voice in shared governance through the SGA (Student Government Association), the luxury of self-scheduled, unproctored exams. Despite the Honor Code, students are treated by faculty, staff, and the administration as mature adults. A student-run Judicial Board governs infractions of the Honor Code.
• Study Abroad - many opportunities for conventional study abroad are available, as well as the special programs CISLA (one of the academic centers), which allows students to "internationalize" their major, whatever it may be, and SATA (Study Away Teach Away), in which a Connecticut College professor takes a small group of students for a semester to a country which that professor has experience with, and there the students take classes at a local university, and one with the Conn professor.
