What kind of student is a good fit for a CTCL school?
The 40 CTCL schools share a number of qualities that create noteworthy teaching and learning environments—from considerable student-faculty interaction, to significant opportunities for co-curricular activities, to active residential campuses where the majority of students live on campus. Students who are excited about learning and want to be engaged in their own education will enjoy the opportunities CTCL colleges offer to personalize their own course of study, from creating an interdisciplinary major to determining which internship or research project to complete. Students who want to be exposed to a variety of perspectives, in both class discussion and casual conversation, thrive on CTCL campuses where students and faculty represent a myriad of backgrounds and experiences. And, perhaps most importantly, students who want to work in a collaborative, not competitive, environment, where faculty serve as teachers, advisors, mentors, and even friends, will be well suited at a CTCL school
