The College was founded in 1911, but its history began in 1909 when Wesleyan University announced that it would no longer offer admission to women. At that time, more women than ever were seeking higher education and demanding the right to vote. A committee was formed and towns across the state of Connecticut began offering prospective sites.

Grab a seat and discuss ideas over a cup of coffee at Muddy Waters, a lobster roll at Captain Scott’s or a Namaste smoothie at Right Path Organic Cafe.

Health care can be very expensive in the U.S. However, the College sponsors a comprehensive Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) in which you may enroll. The SHIP incurs a separate expense, in addition to your tuition and other fees. Many international plans do not provide the same level of coverage required by the College.

I feel at home in my university and want to make them proud. This is why I have joined CISLA which is an organization which funds internships abroad.
I would say we have too many online classes. I prefer to meet professors face-to-face and be able to talk and discuss things in real life. But in overall I like my studies and university. I had a chance to make friends with other students, join to the student clubs and participate in workshops and other meetings which university conducted.
