Do yourself a favor and look up some of Conn colleges alumni. They are just as impressive as the others. Don't make the mistake of looking at the Internet rankings on sites like us news or Princeton review. Like everything else a lot of that press is bought. Peel back the onion and see what schools offer and who's contributing. Alumni contacts, location and internship opportunities can be just as important, or more than academic ranking. Those schools are certainly excellent, but there are many others just as good, or maybe better if its the right fit for your kid.
