It is almost impossible to slip through the cracks at Conn College. In addition to having an academic adviser and a student adviser, the student to teacher ratio is such that professors will know who you are. If you only attend 100 person lectures, than it will be difficult. But most students are in class sizes that range from 10 to 30 people at the most. There is a lot of individual attention and also a lot of individual help available if one wishes to receive it. I've taken classes that are extremely diverse within the English department. I've taken classes that ask questions about race, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, time and space as well as the basic things that one always investigates in the topics of literature: structure, character, plot, motif, etc. The academic requirements are tough to swallow at first. But, once you've finished them, you do feel a great sense of pride in what you've done to diversify your curriculum. And sometimes you even take a class that you wouldn't normally take and it actually gets you to take another class in that department or with that professor - solely due to the general education requirements.
