Get the global connection mug.A small, Northeastern Liberal Arts school located in New London Connecticut. Conn College (as it is affectionately called), is, to put it bluntly: not a good school.
It accepts low SAT scores, and high grades from not-so-good schools. The student body can generally be described as abnormally dumb kids who are extra pretentious. An astounding amount of its students end up there upon not being accepted to an Ivy League, and they have never gotten over it. It is never anyone's first choice. Everyone who goes there will tell you how incredible it is, but eventually, it feels as if they're just saying that to convince themselves. Or, they're just stoned or shitfaced, like all conn college kids are. Also, it's simply a bad education.

Person from a good school: hey! So how's Connecticut College?
Conn College kid: It's amaaaaaazing, probably the best education ever.
Person from a good school: .... are you sure?
Conn College kid: are you kidding? like everyone in my class like knows everything. Like we're reading books.
Person from a good school: Cool, sounds sweet.
Conn College kid: yeah, probably learning more than you... or than any Ivy League shit school, ew, I hate Ivy League schools...
Person from a good school: Didn't you apply to Cornell ED?
Conn College kid: *bursts into tears*

Get the Connecticut College mug.Capital City:
Unlike the largely white Hartford once run by clubby Yankee businessmen everyone called the Bishops, Perez's Hartford is a city of minorities, many from Jamaica and Puerto Rico, with the largest percentage of Latinos north of Miami and east of the Mississippi. A way station for suburban-bound immigrants, Hartford has a homeownership rate of less than 25% -- the nation's second-lowest, after Newark, N.J. Thirty-one percent of its 125,000 residents live in poverty. Only Brownsville, Texas, ranks lower.

Get the connecticut mug.The best of the 50 states in the United States of America. Many of the country's, and the world's, richest residents reside in Connecticut. Connecticut is home the smartest people and the colleges and universities that educate them (such as Yale University). Connecticut is also the best state for athletics. Uconn is continually one of the top dogs in college sports. Even yankee Mark Texiera lives in Connecticut. Many actors and actresses call Connecticut home because of all that it has to offer. In addition, Connecticut is the pizza capital of the world. Pepe's, Sally's, Modern, and many other superb pizza places are located in Connecticut. No one actually dislikes Connecticut. However, many are jealous.

Get the Connecticut mug.The state of Connecticut.

Get the Connects mug.Connecticut is a nice state. If you are the one of the idiots who thinks that it is all rich than you need to leave Fairfield County and roll down your tinted Beamer windows. Or just come to visit from another state. Hartfor id the ghetto and all of the mill towns are for working men and women and sometimes welfare takers. If your are from California your state sucks and you are paying way too much for real estate so don't say shit about CT. Watch out for those wildfires maybe you should get an IQ like as high as a person from CT and stop putting your houses in the middle of the forest without a fire break or on a cliff that is prone to mudslides. You forgot about all of the shitty cities that you have. LA's ghetto is almost as big as CT. Ct is way better than Cali anyday. Our girls have real titties they may be ugly but they are real. I grew up in CT NW corner - Go Yankees. Since I moved to Texas I miss Snow (not shoveling it), grinders, driving on the highway, raggies, package stores, and getting cocked. Texans just don't understand. The unly subs we have in CT are in New London. I wish it was illegal in everystate to talk on the cell phone while driving.
Where you from?
Connecticut.
Your a rich boy arn't you.
No, I grew up in a factory town.
damn yankee!
I kick your fucking redneck ass I got plenty of practice in CT public school ( the only place where you learn how to spell and learn how to fight)

Get the connecticut mug.The state people try to hate on or don't know the geographical location of and secretly wish they were from. Jealousy runs deep once someone finds out you're from the land of nutmeg and Franklin Giant Grinder and they aren't. Those who can, go to Connecticut. Those who settle for mundane and average stay in some god forsaken hell hole somewhere else.
person 1: hey where are you from?
person 2: Connecticut?
Person 1: I'm gonna just give up on life because im not from such a cool place.
Person 2: Don't be so hard on yourself..not all of us can come from the best state. It really must suck being you though.
