Connecticut College is a private liberal arts college located in New London, Connecticut.

The Connecticut College campus is located on the Thames River, overlooking the Long Island Sound on the highest point in New London. It is a member of the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC), and is considered to be among the group of colleges called the “Little Ivies.” Forbes ranked Connecticut College 62 in its America’s Best Colleges list in 2011 and U.S. News and World Report ranked the school in its top forty liberal arts colleges in 2011.
