And if you find that you still have a question, please fell free to call the individual offices or contact Birte Selvaraj at 203-837-9700.

Check out the activities planned in downtown Danbury, often just a few
minutes walk away from the Midtown campus. Sign up for their
weekly newsletter and stay fully informed year round.
International Student
Exchange Program
WestConn is a member institution of ISEP which means our students
can go abroad to other ISEP member universities
anywhere in the world at almost no additional cost other than
what it costs to go to WestConn paying tuition, room & board
plus travel expenses, international
insurance, and the ISEP Fee. Students can go for
one semester or an entire year but
need to remember to apply about 6 months in advance of their travel
to be considered within the priority pool of applicants.
Midtown Coffeehouse
The Midtown Coffeehouse was established in the fall of
2005 and has run continuously throughout the fall and
spring semesters ever since. Thus it has become an
event students can count on for their Thursday night
entertainment - an hour of open mic followed by a
featured performer or a themed evening of
entertainment. Lately a number of table games have been
added to the line-up of free food, sodas, and coffee so
that students have a chance to socialize while listening
to the performances.

This site provides information
and fact sheets for college parents, students and college
administrators. There are links for helpful tips for parents who are
sending their child off to campus. What should I be telling my child?
Do they already know about alcohol? What is the best information I can
give my student? What really goes on at college? Parents expectations
can influence a students’ behavior at school.
