CONNECTICUT: A STATE OF CONTRASTS

Poised at the edge of America's largest city yet firmly rooted in the spirit and traditions of rural New England, bridging the innovations of the nation's finest educational and research institutions with nearly four centuries of historical perspective, the tiny state of Connecticut offers a wealth of cultural opportunities and resources to rival any other, regardless of physical size.

A major draw for new residents and visitors alike is Connecticut's rich and varied landscape, both natural and man-made. The pristine, sand-swept beaches of the coast in the south are thrown into sharp relief by the hilly, forested country of the state's northern reaches. Historic village greens and colonial-era steeples give way to office towers and bustling city streets. The classic brownstones and neo-gothic architecture of Connecticut's oldest educational and governmental institutions stand alongside the sleek modernist structures of today. Connecticut's variegated physical appearance reflects its multifaceted identity and its diversity of spirit.

A leader in higher education, industry and contemporary thought, Connecticut draws on the lessons of its rich and varied history to confront the challenges of the future. Firmly rooted in rural New England traditions yet cosmopolitan in its outlook, Connecticut combines the sophistication of the city with the close-knit community spirit and values of the countryside. A perfect destination for professionals seeking a rural atmosphere with easy access to the city, Connecticut offers the best of city and country for residents and visitors alike.

Climate:
New England is famous for its four distinct seasons, with brisk, snowy winters giving way to colorful springs and hot, humid summers. Connecticut's climate is somewhat more moderate than that of most states in the region, particularly along the coast, but still varies greatly; be prepared for beach weather in July and August and snowstorms from December through early March.
