Links: Colleges of Connecticut

Connecticut is a remarkable place: its southwest region is essentially greater New York City, its northern area is as forested and rural-feeling as Western Mass to the north, and its cities and towns are pure New England charm. Connecticut has a great mix of seashore, cities, and small towns, and it's centrally located between New York and Boston so there's always lots to do.

Although I didn't visit Connecticut on this trip, I'm a big fan of some of the fantastic schools there. Here's a short list of some of the biggest stars.
