When it comes to choosing a college, international students have a lot of options - but not all of them are good. Our mission at College Factual is to arm you with as much information as we can to help you make that decision. Our Best Colleges for Chinese Students in Connecticut ranking is one tool we have developed to help in this regard.

We analyzed 15 colleges and universities across Connecticut to determine which were the best for Chinese students in Connecticut. Our ranking is based on several objective factors, including the school's overall quality and the total number of international students at the school. We steer clear of subjective measures since they don't give a clear picture when determining how one school compares to another.
