Why Connecticut?

Connecticut enjoys four distinct seasons, each of which offers beautiful natural scenery, opportunities to enjoy outdoor sports and activities and participate in a wide variety of cultural events.

Among Connecticut's many great features is its safe living environment. Connecticut has one of the lowest crime rates in the United States. In Northwestern Connecticut, home to UConn's Torrington campus, serious crime is almost non-existent.
Connecticut also has a strong tradition of providing world-class education. Connecticut high school students have some of the best test scores in the country and most of the state's universities are nationally or regionally-ranked.
Adding to these important features are Connecticut's beautiful natural scenery and convenient location - two hours or less to New York City and less than three hours to Boston. Both of these cities, as well as many other places in between, are easily reached by commuter or long-distance trains.
